Example Recorded test output
Input
Create a square photorealistic environmental portrait of one fictional adult man in a plain charcoal sweater beside a simple garden fence in late-afternoon golden light. Low warm sunlight enters from rear-left, tracing a gentle edge on hair and shoulder; soft neutral fill keeps both eyes readable. Frame from mid-torso up with a calm expression and natural skin texture. Keep background vegetation quiet and believable. No theatrical orange cast, lens flare, other people, text, logos or watermark. This is a generated fictional portrait.
Output
Warm rear-left light outlines the hair and shoulder while facial detail remains readable. The charcoal sweater, fence and garden vegetation retain natural muted colors.
