  • Prompt: An ultra-detailed photograph capturing the interior of a Mediterranean primary forest dominated by Quercus suber (cork oak) and Taxus baccata (yew), bathed in warm autumn hues. The oaks display thick, rugged bark partially covered in gray-green lichens, while the yews boast dark green needles contrasted with ruby-red berries. Light filters through the canopy in sporadic golden rays, creating a mosaic of shadows and highlights that paint geometric patterns on the moss-covered ground littered with fallen leaves. At the center of the scene, a perfectly reflective sphere (~50 cm diameter) floats mid-air like a supernatural element. Its mirrored surface captures the entire forest with impeccable spherical distortion: Trees curve along the circumference, creating a "miniature world" effect Light beams bend to follow the curvature, forming luminous arcs Autumn tones (ochre, rust, moss green) intensify in the reflection Some details appear inverted or suggestively distorted Technical Composition: Macro lens to capture cork bark texture and dew droplets on yew berries Long exposure (1/4 sec) to soften foreground leaf movement while keeping the sphere sharp White balance set to warm tones (5500K) to emphasize the forest’s amber glow Polarizing filter to control sphere reflections and saturate foliage colors Atmospheric Details: Light mist veiling tree trunks in the background Three cork oak leaves in the foreground, one imperfectly mirrored in the sphere Hidden detail: A deer subtly visible in the sphere’s distortion, unseen in the direct scene
