Fried Egg Overhead Heart Yolk

Subject & Scenario — fried egg front and center, an overhead flatlay composition showing a single fried egg with a meticulously formed heart-shaped yolk placed on a pristine white ceramic plate against a seamless white background for editorial, packaging, or menu art.

Look & Materials — smooth porcelain plate with a matte finish and a subtle rim, glossy egg white with fine lacy edges and micro-bubbles, yolk with a gentle dome and silky surface, faint browned crisp at the white edge, minimal breadcrumbs or salt grains as tiny texture accents if present.

Focus & Fidelity — entire plate and yolk in crisp focus with sharp edges and preserved micro-detail on the egg white, yolk surface tack-sharp and reflective highlights intact, natural texture and pores visible, no motion blur and stable silhouette against background.

Lighting & Color Mapping — soft broad top light producing gentle falloff and feathered shadows, subtle cool fill from ambient reflectivity to keep whites neutral, warm specular highlights on the yolk mapped to #FFD24D as the dominant accent and plate/background reserved for #FFFFFF, tiny browned edge mapped to #C47A2F for contrast while keeping overall low chroma.

Environment & Props — seamless white tabletop with deep negative space to emphasize minimalism, shallow visible surface plane for spatial grounding, optional tiny salt pinch and a single small fork placed off-frame to suggest use without crowding the scene.

Camera & Composition — true overhead vantage with plate centered and filling about 40–60% of frame, normal-wide field that keeps generous negative space, strict top-down crop with plate perfectly circular within frame, use of concentric framing and radial balance to lead the eye to the heart-shaped yolk.

Style & Medium — photographic realism with high-fidelity macro detail, clean chemical-like render of textures, natural skin analog for food surfaces, neutral micro-contrast and controlled highlight preservation reminiscent of editorial food photography.

Text & Constraints — include no visible text unless specified; hard avoids: no busy props, no patterned plates, no colored backgrounds, no heavy post-processing effects, no motion blur, no brand labels, no additional foods that compete with the single egg.
