Yalda Night Table with Pomegranates

Create a photorealistic landscape 3:2 still-life photograph of an authentic Persian Yalda Night table, celebrating Shab-e Yalda, the longest night of the year. A dark wooden low table covered with a rich deep-red hand-embroidered Persian termeh cloth. Arrange halved pomegranates with glossy ruby-red seeds, a bowl of loose pomegranate seeds, thick triangular watermelon slices, bowls of pistachios, almonds and dried figs, and a plate of ripe persimmons. Include an old open book of Hafez poetry, an elegant Persian teapot with small tulip-shaped tea glasses, and several real candles at different heights with natural flickering flames. A traditional patterned Persian carpet is subtly visible along the lower edge. Lighting is primarily warm candlelight, creating intimate golden highlights on the tea glasses and deep rich red tones throughout the scene. Dark, softly blurred background with gentle falloff and natural shadows. Shot from slightly above at approximately 50mm, shallow depth of field, with the pomegranate seeds as the primary sharp focal point. Atmosphere: cozy, intimate, elegant, festive Persian winter night, authentic and sophisticated, cinematic editorial food photography, natural textures, realistic materials, subtle film grain. No Christmas decorations, no Western holiday styling, no plastic-looking fruit, no artificial colors, no harsh flash, no clutter, no random text, no logos, no watermark.
