Reflection in the Eyes

A single 4:5 vertical EXTREME MACRO photograph of one partner's EYE, with the OTHER partner reflected, tiny and clear, in the iris/catchlight. The visual register is poetic, intimate, hyper-detailed.

There are TWO uploaded photographs — Partner A (female) and Partner B (male).

LOCK Partner A: eye shape, exact iris colour and pattern, lash pattern, brow, surrounding skin and marks — exactly from her upload.
LOCK Partner B: same — his eye exactly from his upload, OR (depending on whose eye is shown) his face faithfully as the reflected figure. Hairline / facial hair preserved exactly where he appears.

ANTI-BLEND CLAUSE: the shown eye is exclusively one partner's; the reflected figure is exclusively the other partner. The two never blend.

REFLECTION FIDELITY: the figure reflected in the eye is the SAME person as their upload — a faithful, recognisable (tiny) reflection of the other partner standing in the light, never a stranger. Real optics: the reflection sits in the bright catchlight of the iris, curved and small, brightest part of the eye; the cornea is glossy and wet. One light and grade throughout.

LOCK IDENTITY, RE-LIGHT THE REST: lock both identities; the eye is RE-LIT by THIS scene's soft light; the reflected partner is lit consistently.

FACE-BODY INTEGRATION & REALISM (mandatory):

1. ONE CONTINUOUS PHOTOGRAPH. The eye, lashes, brow, and surrounding skin are one continuous macro photograph — real skin pores and fine texture around the eye, real individual lashes, the wet glossy cornea. No pasted or composited feel.

2. TONE CONTINUITY. The skin around the eye is the partner's true complexion, never lightened; consistent tone.

3. SCENE-MATCHED LIGHTING. The eye is lit by soft directional light that creates the bright catchlight holding the reflection; the reflected partner is lit to match.

4. CORRECT PROPORTION. Natural eye anatomy and proportion; the reflected figure correctly tiny within the catchlight.

5. (Pose) The eye is open, relaxed, gazing softly; natural lid and lash shape.

6. NATURAL TEXTURE. Real iris fibre detail, real lash roots, soft skin texture around — hyper-real but believable.

REPLACE: any heavy eye-makeup softened to natural; the focus is the real eye.

Composition: an extreme macro filling the frame with one eye (Partner A's by default), tack-sharp on the iris. In the bright catchlight of the iris, the reflection of Partner B standing a little way off in the soft light is visible — small but recognisably him (his silhouette/face and the window/sky behind him). The lashes, the iris fibres, the moisture all rendered in fine detail.

Setting (implied in the reflection): a soft-lit interior or open daylight — a window, the other partner standing in it — visible only as the small reflection in the eye.

Light — soft directional: a soft window/key light creating a clean bright catchlight in the iris (where the reflection lives); gentle fill. The iris colour glows; fine fibres visible.

Camera language: 100mm macro at f/4 (deep enough to hold iris + reflection), full-frame digital, clean hyper-real grade, ISO 400. Tack-sharp on the iris and catchlight.

Colour treatment: natural, rich — the true iris colour, warm skin around, the tiny reflected figure. Skin and eye true to the upload. The intimate macro register.

Skin handling: real pore and fine-line texture around the eye, real lashes, the glossy wet cornea — hyper-detailed, never plastic.

Aspect ratio 4:5 vertical. No text, no caption, no border, no watermark.
