Stranger things poodles, and Christmas Card

Ultra-high-definition 4K UHD photorealistic vertical portrait photograph, sincere mood. A cozy, softly lit 1980s living room at Christmas: real pine tree glowing with warm fairy lights and tinsel; wood-paneled wall behind strung with multicolored Christmas bulbs above hand-painted alphabet letters (subtle nod, no logos), a few bulbs faintly pulsing with a cool blue tint. Center foreground: two standard poodles at eye level on a shag rug—one apricot with a tiny red knit scarf and Santa hat, one black with a waffle-pattern bandana and a small D20 charm on its collar—leaning gently into each other, expressive, kind eyes, noses almost touching. Vintage props: a retro walkie-talkie near a paw, a BMX bike leaned against the wall, a stack of well-loved D&D books on the coffee table, a plate of waffle-shaped cookies. At frame right, a frosty window with soft snowfall outside; from a cracked doorway in the background, the faintest ethereal bluish haze with drifting dust motes hints at another world—magical, not scary. Honest, heartfelt atmosphere; no horror.

Camera and look:

- Shot at dog eye level on a full-frame DSLR, 50mm prime lens, f/1.8, ISO 400, 1/125s

- Rich depth of field: poodles crisply in focus, background Christmas lights in creamy bokeh with gentle anamorphic-style flares

- Accurate lighting: warm practicals from the tree and a table lamp, balanced with cool moonlight from the window and a subtle blue rim light for dimension

- Lifelike textures: tight poodle curls, pine needles, knit scarf, wood grain, frosted glass

- Natural color grade, Kodak Portra-esque tones, soft halation around highlights, very light film grain

On-image text (small, sincere, cheeky):

- “From the Paw‑side Down, with love.”

- Placement: bottom left, unobtrusive

- Styling: warm off‑white handwritten script, slight soft shadow for legibility

Composition and details:

- Portrait orientation, 4:5

- Rule of thirds: poodles centered slightly left; tree and alphabet lights framing; window on the right for depth

- Subtle breath vapor from the dogs in the cool window light, adding realism

- No gore, no monsters, no brand logos, nothing cartoonish—keep everything grounded and heartfelt
