- •To get the best photorealistic results, use a negative prompt excluding common AI errors like 'extra fingers', 'blurry text', or 'watermarks'.
- •The reflection of the subject from behind in the mirror adds a cool, layered depth; ensure your AI generator is prompted to render the back reflection clearly.
