A French Bulldog at the Cafe Table, the Street All Smeared
Person and dog stay sharp while passersby and traffic behind are dragged into streaks, in heavy black-and-white grain.
✍️ Who's sharp and who's blurred is drawn very clearly: person and dog locked in focus, everything else dragged into directional lines, and that's the key variable of the whole image. To copy the effect, list the sharp zone and the blurred zone as two separate rosters in the prompt.

Candid, kinetic, overcast: a square documentary street photograph in black and white, with clearly visible fine film grain, deep charcoal shadows and bright luminous highlights.
Sharp subjects: a blonde woman with a short bob sits at the left in a cream cardigan and jeans, chin resting on her hand. Opposite her, on the right, a tousled-haired man in an overshirt over a white undershirt and tan trousers holds a coffee cup. Dead centre in front, on wet stone paving, sits a merle French bulldog with upright ears. All three faces are crisply focused.
Setting: between two checkered rattan chairs stands a round marble bistro table with two cups, a croissant on a plate and a small flower vase.
Everything else moves: hair tips, leaves, pavement, the street architecture around them, passers-by and traffic are all dragged into directional motion blur.
