Edit the uploaded portrait into a trending moody cinematic birthday portrait. Use the main person in the source image as the person. Follow the selected source-preservation settings: preserve their recognizable identity, proportions, defining features, and expression. Keep the person exactly recognizable as the uploaded person: same face shape, eyes, nose, lips, eyebrows, hairstyle and hairline, hair color, any beard, glasses, or head covering, apparent age, and exact skin tone; do not lighten the skin, change ethnicity, de-age, age up, slim, beautify, or replace the face. Make it a realistic high-resolution photograph with natural skin texture, true-to-life fabric detail, and believable depth of field. If clothing is not preserved, dress them in a plain black crew-neck sweater or black shirt. If pose is not preserved, show him holding a small cake with one lit candle near his chest, looking into the flame with a calm, slight smile. Light him only with warm candlelight from below, deep soft shadows, and a faint rim light so the face stays clearly visible. Apply moody cinematic color grading. Replace the background with plain dark charcoal studio backdrop fading to black, keeping clean edges around hair and clothing. Add no text or lettering anywhere. Do not add extra people, watermarks, brand names, logos, characters, or licensed decorations; keep clothing modest, plain, and unbranded. Compose for 4:5 Portrait without cropping important facial features.
