Ultra-photorealistic 7/8 view of a 1024×1024 macro portrait of clasped decaying princess’s hands emerging from ragged forearms on a wooden tabletop. Sitting in a decorative, throne-like chair, she is holding a delicate golden necklace with an open heart shaped pendant with embossed intricate details revealing an aged, black and white image of a young, attractive, longhaired, blonde woman’s close-up face portrait wearing a tiara. The image is captured with a 100 mm prime lens at f/2.2, 1/125 s, ISO 200 and neutral 5500 K white balance. The camera sits 10 cm above the surface, pitched downward 10°, with a soft diffuse key light from camera-left and subtle fill from camera-right. Frail, knotted digits fill the frame, each skin surface mottled brown and gray with mud, patches of green moss, jagged yellowed cracked nails, fine hairs clumped with mud. Hollow eye sockets, long thin sparse blonde hair extends downward from a moss-covered crown tip recede into creamy bokeh, the razor-sharp focus plane on the middle knuckles rendering every pore, wrinkle and glistening sinew in forensic detail while the background throne room evokes a haunting portrait.
