This prompt tests:

Does the man have messy dark hair falling over parts of his face?

Do strands of his hair catch the light in a way that frames his eyes?

Are his light-blue eyes clearly visible and sharply in focus, staring straight ahead?

Is there a face tattoo running from cheek to temple, clean in shape but with rough surface texture?

Does his skin appear smooth and lit to show fine surface detail?

Is the lighting sharp and directional, with distinct shadows and highlights?

Are some parts of his face in shadow while others are crisply detailed?

Is the background blurred out to isolate the subject (shallow depth of field)?

Does the image show telephoto lens traits (compressed background, tight crop, clarity)?

Are there visible wet or shiny areas on his hair or skin catching the light?

Does the overall image feel raw, gritty, and intimate rather than polished or staged?
