The original prompt

Use case: photorealistic-natural. Create ONE finished standalone photographic website background for the Fire & Ember collection. Real observational outdoor fire photography at night, quietly beautiful and cozy. The photograph should feel captured rather than arranged. Physically plausible irregular combustion: transparent thin flame edges, pale straw-yellow hottest tongues over deeper orange bases, occasional faint blue only right at a burning wood edge, ember light confined to cracks, matte black char and friable gray-white ash. Flame motion has slight natural softness while wood and ground retain genuine detail. Mild real sensor grain in shadows, gentle lens contrast and photographic highlight rolloff; do not recover every shadow. Blacks are deep but not a cutout background: faint contiguous ground or air gives spatial grounding near the subject. Only the fire illuminates the immediate surroundings, with irregular occlusion shadows and rapid natural falloff. No fill lights, no perfectly circular pool of light, no HDR, no artificial glow cloud, no sharpened orange outlines, no smooth CGI surfaces, no plastic wood, no symmetrical teepee logs, no uniformly arranged stone ring, no bonfire spectacle, no excessive particles. Restrained charcoal, soot, muted copper, ochre and pale golden flame. Protect the specified large quiet negative space for later website typography. Full bleed. No people, hands, buildings, camping gear, stars, moon, text, lettering, logo, UI, watermark, borders or collage. Required framing: 16:9. Scene: Horizontal 16:9 close photograph of the remains of a real wood fire. An asymmetrical low bed of collapsed black charcoal chunks and delicate irregular gray ash confined to bottom and right third, photographed from a shallow oblique angle, not overhead. Only a FEW disconnected deep muted orange-red fissures glow from within the charcoal. Thin chalky ash flakes obscure most of the heat; no uniform lava network. One cracked log end partly cut by the bottom right edge. No visible flames, no flying sparks. At least left 60 percent and top third are nearly black empty firepit depth. 85mm lens f/5.6, meaningful detailed plane of focus across foreground char, restrained distance softness.
