Universal Prompt Prompt:
Shot Type: Extreme Close-Up. The camera is positioned mere inches from the subject's eye, filling the entire frame with intricate detail of the skin texture, eyelashes, and the metallic barbed wire. Composition Techniques: Rule of Thirds, Asymmetry. The eye is positioned slightly off-center, creating visual tension. The barbed wire cuts diagonally across the frame, leading the viewer's gaze. Lighting: Soft, warm lighting illuminates the skin, creating a golden glow that contrasts with the cool, metallic sheen of the barbed wire. Shadow details are preserved, adding depth to the skin's texture. Color Palette: The dominant colors are warm browns of varying shades, from rich cocoa to lighter caramel tones in the skin. The barbed wire introduces a stark silvery-gray, creating a striking contrast. Mood and Emotion: The image evokes a complex mix of emotions - tension, resilience, and a hint of defiance. The juxtaposition of the harsh barbed wire against soft skin creates an unsettling yet captivating visual. Style: This image blends Surrealism with Hyper-realism. The concept is surreal - barbed wire as eyeliner - but the execution is highly detailed and lifelike. Location and Setting: The setting is abstract, focusing entirely on the close-up of the eye. The background fades into a soft blur of warm skin tones. Character Placement: The frame is dominated by a single eye, open and alert. The eyebrow is partially visible at the top of the frame, while the lower eyelid and upper cheek occupy the bottom third. The eye itself is dark, reflecting a hint of light, suggesting alertness and awareness. The eyelashes are natural and untreated, adding to the organic feel that contrasts with the artificial barbed wire. The barbed wire 'eyeliner' is meticulously placed, following the natural curve of the eyelid. Each barb is clearly defined, its sharp points a stark contrast to the soft skin surrounding it. The wire appears to be sitting on the skin rather than piercing it, creating a surreal effect. Skin texture is captured in exquisite detail, showing fine lines, pores, and the subtle variations in tone that give depth and realism to the image. There's a slight sheen to the skin, suggesting warmth and life. The extreme close-up allows for incredible detail in the iris of the eye. Flecks of color and the intricate patterns of the iris are visible, adding depth and drawing the viewer into the subject's gaze. There's a subtle tension in the muscles around the eye, perhaps a reaction to the presence of the barbed wire, or a reflection of the emotional state of the subject. The image carries powerful symbolism, with the barbed wire representing oppression, pain, or societal constraints, while the eye - often considered a window to the soul - remains open and undefeated, suggesting resilience and endurance in the face of adversity. The hyper-realistic style amplifies the impact of the surreal concept, forcing the viewer to confront the uncomfortable juxtaposition of beauty and pain, softness and harshness, humanity and inhumanity.

Prompt for Flux
"Create an extreme close-up image featuring a human eye, where the camera is positioned just inches from the subject, allowing for an intense focus on the intricate details of the skin texture, eyelashes, and metallic barbed wire positioned as eyeliner. Employ composition techniques like the Rule of Thirds, placing the eye slightly off-center for visual tension, with the barbed wire making a diagonal cut across the frame to guide the viewer’s gaze. Illuminate the scene with soft, warm lighting that casts a golden glow on the skin, contrasting beautifully with the cool, metallic sheen of the barbed wire. The dominant color palette should include warm browns, ranging from rich cocoa to lighter caramel tones in the skin, while the barbed wire adds stark silvery-gray accents. The mood should evoke complex emotions like tension, resilience, and defiance, highlighted by the unsettling juxtaposition of soft skin against harsh barbed wire. This image should blend surrealism with hyper-realism, emphasizing the surreal concept of barbed wire as eyeliner, executed with hyper-detailed realism. Set the background as abstract, softly blurring warm skin tones to focus solely on the eye. Frame the shot to have a single open, alert eye, partial eyebrow visible at the top, and lower eyelid with upper cheek occupying the bottom third. The dark eye reflects a hint of light, suggesting alertness, with natural, untreated eyelashes adding an organic feel against the artificial barbed wire. Ensure the barbed wire 'eyeliner' curls effortlessly along the eyelid's contour, with each barb sharply defined, creating a surreal yet non-invasive appearance. Capture the skin texture with exquisite detail, highlighting fine lines, pores, and subtle tonal variations, giving a lifelike warmth. The extreme close-up should reveal intricate iris patterns and color flecks that draw the viewer into the subject's gaze, revealing subtle tension around the eye, indicating emotional response or awareness of the barbed wire. The powerful symbolism of the scene suggests oppression versus resilience, with the eye, seen as a window to the soul, remaining open amidst adversity, accentuating the uncomfortable but thought-provoking clash of beauty and pain, softness and harshness, humanity and inhumanity."
