AI-Generated Image of the Day

Prompt: Yes, intensifying the prisoner’s emotion could significantly enhance the realism and impact of the image. A solemn expression is subtle, but showing despair (e.g., slouched posture, tearful eyes, face in hands) or hopelessness (e.g., blank stare, sagging shoulders, head bowed) would add more raw emotional depth. Anger, on the other hand, would shift the tone, introducing clenched fists, tense muscles, or a defiant glare would make the scene feel more volatile than introspective.

Tip: the more specific the better
