Swirl-bokeh portrait

An adult flautist stands sharp in a candlelit hall while defocused candle flames around her stretch into elongated oval bokeh ovals swirling tangent around her. No letters, words, signs or logos anywhere in the image. A real photograph in fine-art optical portrait photography, captured with a vintage Petzval-type lens response, shallow depth of field, a sharply resolved central plane and fine negative grain. Defocused point highlights beyond that plane become increasingly elongated ovals toward the edges, each long axis tangent to a circle around the optical center; their changing orientations form a continuous photographic swirl while central texture stays stable. One dominant oblique light skims the focused plane and glances across the defocused highlights, with deep shadows finishing the look; colour follows the scene.
