## Prompt

```text
Medium close-up portrait, 85mm, a {subject} stands at the {setting}, forehead resting lightly against the cold glass, eyes open, looking down at the street below, authentic daily life photography, natural candid moment.

Profile or near-profile view, almond eyes aimed downward through the glass, expression contained and unseeing — watching without watching. Straight black hair falls along the side of her face and neck. Forehead in contact with glass, breath faintly fogging lower corner of window. Skin with natural texture, subsurface scattering from faint street-light glow on glass.

She wears an {clothing}, sleeves long and slightly pulled over fingers. Arms hanging or loosely crossed at chest. The dark street and distant building lights are barely visible through the glass in soft bokeh. One or two stray hairs between her face and the glass, pressed flat or floating free.

Black and white rendering. Low key: near-total interior darkness, only city ambient light filtering through the window glass providing any illumination — cool, flat, indirect. Her face and hair receive faint frontal light from outside, the rest of the room is black. Window reflections subtle and not distracting. Shadow side of face retains skin tonal gradation clearly. ISO 800 grain structure, fine and present. Photographic texture not CG render smoothness.

Aspect ratio 4:5. No watermark, no text overlay, not cartoon, not digitally painted, not illustration, not anime.
```
