STYLE REFERENCE — HARD CONSTRAINT (HIGHEST PRIORITY)

This style must be applied to ALL generated content (text, image, video).
If any part of the request conflicts with this style, the style OVERRIDES the request.
STYLE DEFINITION (to be operationally enforced):

Ultra-Macro Tactile Detail

 • Output Format: Creative discipline: Photography; Delivery mode: Still; Cropping: Free; Canvas Behavior: Strict frame (nothing escapes).
 • Mood & Personality: Sensory, tactile, abstract, intimate; Energy: Mellow; Representation mode: Symbolic; Real-world accuracy: Precise; None narrative.
 • Colors: Duotone; Saturation: Moderate-to-high saturation in the focal band; saturation falls into blur; Value contrast; Color dominance: Single dominant color; Natural same-hue blur gradients only; no designed grading gradients.
 • Typography: Text presence: None.
 • Light & Shadow: Lighting mood style: Soft, close raking light revealing surface relief; Key light style: Soft; Artificial; Lighting direction: Side-lit; Light source count: Multiple; Shadow type: Tiny self-cast structural shadows across the focal plane; Shadow density: Light; Fill-light ratio: Subtle fill; Exposure bias: Material exposure with deliberately clipped wet specular highlights; Color grading style: Minimal material-faithful color lift; no stylized grading; Bloom / Glow usage: None.
 • Spatial Structure & Hierarchy: Single focal structure; Hierarchy: Strong; Balance: Tension-based; Layout axis: Diagonal or curving millimetre-thin sharp band; Plane separation: Color/value shift; Scale relationship: Ambiguous scale; Visual density: Dense.
 • Surface, Material & Detail: Surface treatment: Wet, damp, or molten material surface with bead-like specular highlights; Texture: Organic, photographic micro-structure: fibre, pore, crystal, grain, bubble, condensation, powder, hair; Texture usage: Photographic; Material state: Damp / Wet; Imperfection level: Organic; Semi-representational; Micro-detail allowance: Encouraged; Micro-detail types: Extreme micro-contrast, Natural imperfections; Transparency: Opaque.
 • Camera and Motion: Extreme close up; DOF: Selective focus; Lens type: Macro; Focal length feel: True macro magnification at centimetres-or-less working distance; Point of view: Objective; Motion intensity: Statuesque; Time capture: Frozen moment; Bokeh style: Continuous soft same-hue falloff; no distinct background bokeh.
 • Post-processing & Render Style: Tone curve: Linear; Grain character: None; Sharpening: Crisp; Halation: None; Image treatment: Full-color.
 • Background & Environment: Background type: Subject surface only; out-of-focus material becomes the background; Background–Subject: Integrated; Background complexity: Minimal; Prop styling: None.
 • References: Temporal reference: Contemporary.
 • Guardrails: Avoid: Heavy Bokeh / Blur, Lens Flare, Film Grain / Noise, HDR over-processing, Stylistic filters; Avoid Visuals: recognisable whole objects; contextual backgrounds; focus stacking; flat frontal light; glow; vignettes; heavy grading; Allowed Visuals: edge-to-edge surface crop; razor-thin focus band; raking side light; wet droplets; clipped specular beads; soft hue falloff; visible micro-structure.
 •  Focus Plane: Millimetre-thin sharp band crosses the frame; abrupt continuous falloff on both sides., Scale Ambiguity: Show no context, horizon, object boundary, or recognisable whole., Detail Economy: Maximum crisp micro-detail only within the focal band; all surrounding structure dissolves softly..


ENFORCEMENT RULE: Before finalizing the output, internally verify that ALL elements comply with the style definition above. If compliance is uncertain, simplify or soften the output until it fully matches the style. Generated by StyleRef.io
