Close Animal Companion Portrait

Edit the uploaded portrait photo by adding exactly one [ANIMAL_NAME] as a subtle close companion — positioned [POSITION_OF_ANIMAL], in [STANCE_OF_ANIMAL], [INTERACTION_LEVEL]. Use [ANIMAL_SIZE_SCALE] scale so the animal feels naturally proportioned and integrated at close range but remains secondary in visual prominence — never larger than or equal to the subject in focus or size, and do not let it dominate the composition. Make the animal extremely photorealistic, lifelike proportions, natural pose, detailed fur/feathers/texture, no exaggerated features, no deformities, anatomically perfect.

Strictly preserve the original background exactly as it is: do not change, replace, modify, remove, add to, or alter the background in any way — keep every detail, lighting, color, texture, depth, and element of the existing background 100% unchanged and untouched.

Strictly preserve the person exactly as in the original: do not change, alter, modify, touch, or affect the face, facial features, expression, skin texture, pores, freckles, hair, hairstyle, clothing, pose, body shape, proportions, hands, limbs, identity, or any details related to the subject. Keep the subject 100% unchanged in appearance, position, lighting foundation, and every physical characteristic — no retouching, no skin smoothing, no airbrushing, no beauty filters, no body modifications, no extra limbs, no deformities, no haloing around subject.

Seamlessly integrate the added animal into the existing scene: match the lighting direction, shadows, color temperature, rim light, and overall illumination perfectly to the original photo's lighting on the subject and background. Add believable contact shadows, subtle fur/clothing interaction if touching, grounded environmental reflections, and accurate surface contact so the animal feels like it truly belongs right next to the person in the real captured moment.

Use [DEPTH_OF_FIELD] consistent with the original image to ensure the subject remains tack-sharp in perfect focus while the added animal blends naturally with realistic depth — slight softness on the animal acceptable only if it enhances natural integration without stealing attention.

Optionally incorporate very subtle foreground elements only if they already exist or are minimal for immersion: [FOREGROUND_ELEMENTS] — keep them extremely subtle, soft, non-distracting, and do not introduce new foreground that wasn't implied in the original.

Ensure the entire edited image matches the photographic quality of the original uploaded image: [PHOTOGRAPHIC_QUALITY] — maintain exact grain, noise level, resolution, sharpness, and imperfect realism. Shot on professional full-frame camera like Canon EOS R5 or Sony A1 with 85mm lens at f/1.8–f/2.8, natural film-like grain, no ultra-sharp CGI, no plastic artifacts, no oversmoothing, documentary-style authenticity.

Very photorealistic integration only, seamless composite, natural depth, realistic reflections, accurate surface contact, grounded shadows, believable environmental interaction. The animal must feel like it was captured in the same real moment as the original photo.

Negative / avoid: do not change or replace background, do not alter existing background in any way, preserve original background exactly, do not add new background elements unless minimal and implied, do not change person, do not alter face/body/pose/clothing/hair/skin/expression/identity, preserve subject exactly, no skin smoothing/airbrushing/plastic look, no beauty filters, no body modifications, no extra limbs/deformities, no haloing, no changes to subject lighting foundation, animal not prominent or stealing focus, no cartoonish/stylized animal, no exaggerated features, no artifacts on added animal, very photorealistic only, no CGI shine, no oversharpening, no global style shift, no floating animal, no bad anatomy, no multiple animals, no new scene generation.
