**Prompt: Midnight Rain β€” Blue Cinematic Portrait πŸŒ§οΈπŸ’™** Create an ultra-photorealistic, cinematic 8K portrait of the exact same young man from the provided reference photo. Preserve his original facial identity, face shape, eyes, eyebrows, nose, lips, jawline, natural skin tone, thick dark wavy hair, and neatly trimmed beard and mustache. Do not replace his face or alter his natural facial proportions. The young man is standing waist-deep in a swimming pool at night during heavy rainfall, shirtless, with his eyes gently closed and his head tilted backward toward the sky. His expression is peaceful, emotional, confident, and introspective. His thick black hair is completely wet, with individual strands falling naturally across his forehead. Realistic water droplets cover his face, neck, shoulders, chest, and arms. His physique should look naturally proportioned and realistic, with subtle athletic definition and authentic anatomy, avoiding exaggerated muscles. Both arms rest naturally at his sides, partially submerged in the water. **Environment:** A dark outdoor pool surrounded by a deep midnight-blue atmosphere. Heavy rain falls continuously, creating visible rain streaks, tiny splashes, realistic ripples, and shimmering reflections across the water. The background is dark, minimal, and softly blurred, with no distracting objects. **Lighting:** Dramatic electric-blue and cyan cinematic lighting from the front-left, combined with an icy-blue rim light behind the subject. Soft highlights illuminate his wet hair, face, neck, shoulders, and chest. Maintain realistic skin tones beneath the cool blue reflections, deep navy shadows, and beautiful reflections on the water. **Camera and composition:** Vertical 9:16 portrait, medium-full upper-body framing from the head to the waist, with the lower torso partially submerged. Slightly low camera angle, natural perspective, subject centered, complete head and both shoulders visible. Professional full-frame cinema camera, 50mm portrait lens, f/2.0, sharp facial details, moderately shallow depth of field, realistic water physics, and premium movie-poster composition. **Color grading:** Rich electric blue, cyan, midnight blue, deep navy, and cool charcoal. High cinematic contrast, luminous water reflections, realistic wet-skin highlights, subtle atmospheric depth, and premium music-video aesthetics. **Quality:** Maximum photorealism, fine skin texture, natural pores, realistic wet hair, detailed rain droplets, physically accurate reflections, authentic anatomy, cinematic HDR, ultra-detailed 8K-style finish. **Negative prompt:** Different face, altered identity, artificial face replacement, plastic skin, excessive smoothing, exaggerated muscles, unnatural body proportions, dry hair, fake water droplets, unrealistic rain, deformed hands, extra fingers, extra limbs, distorted anatomy, oversaturated blue skin, blown highlights, blurry face, cartoon, anime, CGI appearance, text, logos, watermark.
