Prompt-specific quality checklist
- The majestic black horse must have realistic anatomy, natural musculature, detailed black hair, believable movement, and a calm, elegant presence.
- The horse must wear premium dark leather tack with elegant craftsmanship, subtle stitching, refined metal fittings, and realistic leather texture.
- Include lush green countryside fields, rustic wooden fences, and tall trees in the softly blurred background.
- Create a creamy bokeh effect while keeping the man and horse sharply defined.
- Maintain anatomically correct contact between the rider, saddle, stirrups, reins, legs, hands, and horse.
- The man's posture should appear relaxed, balanced, confident, and experienced without becoming stiff, theatrical, or excessively masculine.
- Preserve realistic skin pores, fine facial texture, natural stubble detail, subtle under-eye texture, and believable tonal variation.
