Transform the uploaded single photo into a polished selective-color photograph. Preserve the original scene, composition, subjects, lighting, and realistic textures. Output one 3:4 portrait image; do not create a collage, split the image, or turn it into a cartoon.

Keep the original natural colors only on the single most visually expressive subject. Convert all other people, objects, plants, and surroundings to clean black and white, preserving their full detail, tonal range, and spatial relationships. Confine color strictly to the subject itself; do not leave color on nearby objects. Make the edges natural, with no color leaks, spill, halos, or cutout artifacts.

Do not add or remove elements, alter the subject’s shape, or add any text, decoration, or watermark. The result should have a realistic photographic appearance, with a striking, quiet, and emotional contrast between the sole color focal point and the monochrome world, and a polished, refined feel.
