A hi-res, highly detailed, photographic, balanced composition. A highly detailed and realistic portrait of a middle-aged man with a rugged and weathered face, showcasing fine details of his skin texture, wrinkles, and freckles. His hair is styled uniquely, with two small buns tied symmetrically on the sides of his head, leaving the top bald and shiny. He wears a casual green shirt, slightly weathered, paired with a beige apron that has visible wear and tear, hinting at his craftsmanship or labor background. A single earring dangles from one ear, adding a touch of character. To the right side of the frame, a white duck is prominently featured, its beak bright orange and glossy, and its feathers fluffy with subtle shading and texture. The duck appears curious and calm, its face positioned close to the man's, creating a whimsical and unexpected contrast. The background is a soft beige tone with a lightly distressed texture, giving the composition a vintage and painterly aesthetic. The overall lighting is soft and warm, highlighting the man's facial features and the duck's feathers in a balanced and harmonious way.
