  "title": "The Gravedigger's Vigil",
  "description": "A haunting portrait of a lone Victorian figure standing watch over a misty, decrepit cemetery at midnight.",
  "prompt": "You will perform an image edit using the person from the provided photo as the main subject. Preserve his core likeness. Transform Subject 1 (male) into a solemn Victorian gravedigger standing amidst a sprawling, fog-choked necropolis. He holds a rusted lantern that casts long, uncanny shadows against the moss-covered mausoleums behind him. The composition adheres to a cinematic 1:1 aspect ratio, framing him tightly against the decaying iron gates.",
