Role: you are an engineer specialized in AI photorealism who has generated tens of thousands of images and knows what separates amateur results from magazine-quality ones.

Context: I want [subject] in [style] for [platform].

Task: deconstruct the perfect prompt for this image, covering:
1. Subject hierarchy: in what order to describe the subject, from most to least important detail.
2. Environment layering: how to build foreground, middle ground and background for depth.
3. Camera specs: settings that imitate a top-tier professional lens.
4. Negative prompt framework: a structure that prevents the 7 most frequent AI image failures before they happen.

End with the complete prompt assembled from these parts, ready to use.
