Observations

The style uses stark black-and-white imagery with extreme tonal separation, isolating realistic figures and animal forms against broad, nearly empty fields. Circular and square white shapes, silhouettes, and severe cropping create a graphic, minimalist visual language while retaining photographic facial and surface detail.

Earlier versions

Same code, different picture. Midjourney changed how it reads SREF codes after V6.1, so V8.2 turns this code into a new style. The old one still works: add  or .
