Mustache completely disconnected from the beard, short, dark, clearly shaped, visible clean skin gap on both sides of the mouth, no blending or fade. Subtle slightly shocked expression — mildly widened eyes, gently raised brows, lips slightly parted, realistic and restrained. Warm brown skin tone with natural texture and visible pores. Wearing the exact outfit from reference image, including color, texture, and style. Soft indoor or natural lighting depending on reference, shallow depth of field, DSLR photo realism, ultra-8K detail, cinematic clarity, true-to-life proportions, no stylization.
