Warm candlelight creates localized highlights on the face, skin, satin fabric and cake.
Create a realistic cast shadow of the woman on the wall behind her.
Also create a very subtle translucent ghosted motion shadow around the side of her head and face, slightly offset from her real face.
This secondary shadow must look like a real photographic motion trail caused by slow shutter photography and intentional camera movement.
It must NOT look like a duplicated face, face swap, digital ghost effect or artificial double exposure.
MOTION / CAMERA EFFECT:
MOTION BLUR — VERY IMPORTANT:
Use only a subtle and controlled slow-shutter photographic motion effect.
The woman, her face, eyes, facial features, outfit, hands and birthday cake must remain clear, sharp and fully recognizable.
DO NOT apply strong motion blur to the entire image.
DO NOT blur the cake.
DO NOT blur the woman's face.
DO NOT blur the outfit.
DO NOT blur the hands.
The cake must remain mostly sharp, with only a very subtle softness around its outer edges.
The main subject must look like a normal sharp professional portrait.
Create only a delicate, realistic photographic motion trail around the outer edges of the woman's head, hair and upper silhouette.
Add a very subtle translucent ghosted shadow behind the head and slightly beside the face, similar to a slow-shutter double-image effect.
The ghosted shadow should be faint, soft and partially transparent, while the actual face in the foreground remains sharp and clearly recognizable.
The candles may have a small amount of natural motion softness and glowing light trails because of the candle flames, but the candle bodies must remain recognizable.
The background may contain slightly more motion softness than the subject, but it must still remain visually defined.
The final image should have approximately 80–90% sharpness and only 10–20% subtle motion effect.
The motion effect must look like authentic analog slow-shutter photography, NOT like a blur filter.
The viewer should immediately recognize the person's face, clothing and cake without difficulty.
