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: 1:1. Scene: SQUARE 1:1 close photograph of one short naturally broken piece of partly burned hardwood lying horizontally at the bottom right of a dark fire bed. The wood is matte carbon black with one imperfect fissure exposing warm orange embers under a veil of white-gray ash. A few brittle ash flakes have fallen next to it, actual wood grain under the char, never molten rock or gemstones. The fragment occupies lower right quarter, with top half and left half broad clean charcoal-black negative space. No flame, no sparks. 100mm close lens at f/8, texture natural not oversharpened, quiet gentle glow and real shadow contact, no glossy rendering.
