Butternut and Birch still-life composition

Butternut and Birch palette builds a calm airy mood. Creamy linen ground pairs with a smooth ochre ceramic and a pale birch slice showing fine growth rings, all spaced for breathing room. Depth holds front objects crisp while the background eases to soft cream; focus ensures rim, ring detail, and linen weave remain legible. Light is soft and lateral for gentle shadows that guide the eye; grading keeps warm ochre balanced by cool soft grays. Environment is uncluttered with a broad negative zone. Camera is slightly elevated with a normal lens, simple triangular arrangement for stability. Style is lifestyle still-life with editorial minimalism.
