Cinematic film still, medieval tavern barber under a carved wooden sign. The barber leans in with a straight razor while the customer tips his head fully back, the whole line of his throat exposed, lather bright under a single candle; the carved sign above reads THE BRASS COCK in clean lettering. Smoke and low beams behind. 35mm, shallow depth of field, heavy grain, candle amber and oak brown, restrained and tasteful.

Written in English, exactly as we sent it.

Why this prompt works

The carved sign is named as an exact string in the brief and has to come back spelled the way it was asked for, on a surface that is simultaneously being lit and weathered. `resolution` is `2k`: at the lower tier the lettering tends to survive as shapes but loses the carved edge that makes it read as a sign rather than as a decal. The rest of the frame is one candle, so the type sits at the darkest end of the exposure.
