Earth Ice Cream Melting on Sugar Cone

Tags
A single scoop of ice cream textured with the Earth's continents and oceans sits precariously atop a crisp, golden-brown waffle cone. The spherical scoop features vibrant blue oceans and detailed green and brown landmasses, with white ice-caps beginning to liquify at the poles. Thick, viscous drips of deep teal water and mossy green slush run down the sides of the cone, pooling at the bottom of the frame to signify rapid melting.
The subject is positioned centrally in a horizontal 3:2 composition, creating a monumental and isolated presence against a dark, atmospheric void. Intense orange and red rim lighting catches the edges of the melting scoop, suggesting an invisible source of extreme heat and creating a high-contrast glow across the scene.
The waffle cone displays a sharp, geometric grid pattern with realistic textures and fine crumbs. Tiny crystalline structures are visible in the frozen parts of the scoop, while the melted sections exhibit a glossy, reflective sheen. Soft wisps of steam rise from the surface, enhancing the sense of temperature contrast and urgency in this macro product photograph.
