A cinematic, close-up portrait of a reference photo viewed through a reflective glass window. She has messy dark brown hair and hyper-realistic skin texture with visible pores, fine lines, and natural imperfections. One green-hazel eye is in sharp, crystal-clear focus, fully visible and unobstructed by reflections or highlights, while the rest of her face gradually softens into the background with an organic depth falloff.

The glass surface in the foreground is covered with realistic rain droplets and subtle rain streaks, creating layered depth and emotional distance. Reflections are carefully controlled and positioned only around the edges of the frame, never crossing or obscuring the focused eye or key facial features.

Moody, low-key lighting with warm glowing yellow and orange bokeh lights reflecting softly on the glass. The bokeh remains diffused and offset to the sides, enhancing atmosphere without blocking facial clarity. Shot with an extremely shallow depth of field (f/1.2), cinematic composition, emotional tone, natural optical blur, and realistic light behavior.

Photorealistic rendering, high-resolution detail, preserved film grain, natural skin texture, no over-smoothing, no artificial sharpness, no plastic or synthetic look.
