Midjourney supports four-code SREF stacks with --exp 20 in a surreal photo recipe

• Midjourney creators are sharing a surreal photo recipe built around four stacked SREF codes; in [_VVSVS’s main post]( main recipe ) the full string pairs --sref 4142107250 2258094493 2235195069 1015824329 with --exp 20, --quality 2, --stylize 500, --ar 16:9, and profile 8clamze.
• The look is less about one reference code than a blended style stack: _VVSVS’s repost points back to the same multi-code setup rather than a new prompt, suggesting the stack itself is the repeatable ingredient.
• The outputs shown in [the recipe post]( recipe examples ) land in polished surreal photography territory, including an Arctic fox close-up, a hyperreal eyeball in fluffy material, and a dissolving particle silhouette.

The usable takeaway is simple: instead of leaning on a single style reference, this setup stacks four SREF codes inside one prompt and then pushes expression with --exp 20. In [_VVSVS’s original recipe]( original post ), that stack is combined with --quality 2 for cleaner renders, --stylize 500 for a stronger aesthetic push, and a wide --ar 16:9 frame.

The posted results show what that combination is doing. [The image set]( image set ) keeps a photographic finish across very different subjects: soft fur detail on the sleeping fox

, glossy object realism on the blue iris

, and a more abstract figure that still reads like studio-shot material

. [_VVSVS’s repost]( amplified thread ) repeats the same parameter stack without changing the core formula, which makes this read more like a stable recipe than a one-off lucky prompt.
