A pirate stands on a jetty. The wind is blowing hard. He looks at the viewer, raises his head briefly as if questioning, then looks down at his hand.

It hangs down over his face, giving him a daring look. His beard, grown unevenly, is long on his chin, stringy and shaggy. Cunning little eyes, gray-green. A scar under his right eye. He grins, his uneven teeth are visible, slightly brown, one is missing. An old red scarf is wrapped around his wrinkled neck; his shirt is greasy at the collar, torn and yellowed. He stands on an old sailing ship. Surrounded by thick ropes, a battered wooden railing. Behind him, a fortress is visible. A wooden pier with a gallows standing on it can be faintly made out. It is dark; night. His face is half in shadow. depth of field, high contrast, dramatic shadows, highly detailed, high contrast, dramatic shadows, film grain, low light
