Getting less and less happy with this as I keep tinkering so I'll share before scrapping it

This is a sculpture from the recently released "Aesthetiq" library. I wanted to get a good realistic render that emulates that iPhone flashlight everything-in-the-background-becomes-super-dark look.
Rendered in Blender at 4000x4800, then developed and downscaled in Affinity to 1000x1200.
Biggest learning: The jitter checkbox in Blender's "Lens Distortion" compositor node is absolutely fucked. You either get superb quality or 2009 smartphone in the dark artifacts. No inbetween.
