Three of your Elite 8 photos rebuilt with new athletes in the same pose, framing, lens and light, every athlete in ProShield. The crown-C tile on each ear cup is the real mark composited on after generation and printed through the shell's shading. Thirteen takes across four sets; the recommended take in each set is tagged.
Elite 8 front-headlock photo, two new athletes. Lower wrestler in black ProShield, top wrestler in white.
Warm bleacher bokeh closest to the original.
Same pose, cooler and slightly sharper crowd.
Per your notes: the top wrestler's left hand lies across the opponent's ribs, fingers wrapping left, thumb on top, back of the hand to camera. Redrawn with Seedream after Nano Banana kept mirroring it. Marks re-composited.
The Steller Trained scoreboard photo: new athlete, same seated leg-trap, same red and green scoreboard reading 3 and 1:18, same referee at the edge. Black ProShield, plain black singlet with orange trim.
Closest body position, but the raised hand lands on his own headgear.
Cleanest read of the headgear and the knee sleeve; grimace matches the original.
Per your note: Take 2 with the real Steller Trained singlet from the original photo. Orange STELLER TRAINED lettering, dragon on the torso, orange cuffs, crown-C on the chest.
Hand crosses the ear cup; the mark sits above the fingers.
The Minion Legends bloody-nose photo: new athlete walking off the mat between periods, taped wrist, blood at the nose, crowd low in frame and the blue figure at the right edge. Black ProShield, black singlet with lime streaks, no text.
Crowd band sits higher; athlete a touch smaller in frame.
Best match to the original crop, but the generator left a blank dark block where the singlet text was. Fixable if you want this one.
Clean singlet, blood at the nose, framing close to the original.
Per your note: Take 3 with the real Minion Legends singlet from the original photo. MINION over LEGENDS, lime streaks, white piping, crown-C on the chest.
Two 2025 Elite 8 frames from the Plambeck day-2 set, athletes unchanged, ProShield and chin cup added on top. The photographer's Elite 8 watermark is still in the corner; say the word and I'll clear it.
White ear cups with the black crown-C tile, white straps through the hair, white chin cup with its strap visible under the jaw.
Black ear cups with the silver tile, white straps pressed into the curls, white chin cup and strap. The singlet and its crown-C are the real ones from the photo.
Things worth knowing before any of these go anywhere.
