By comparing a weak prompt and a strong prompt on the same subject, the author emphasizes that effective prompting isn't just about length, but about clearly defining "what task the image needs to accomplish."
- Weak prompt: old portrait
- Strong prompt: weathered fisherman as a Renaissance oil portrait, chiaroscuro light, cracked varnish, museum framing --ar 4:5 --v 8.1
The takeaway: a good prompt gives the image a clear purpose, style, and compositional goal, rather than just describing a general noun.
