Pine seeds, sweet and oily, crumbly cheese, salty and sweet, infused with umami flavor.With a bottle of olive oil, I wanted to embed this image in...

Through the appropriate saturation of colors and the softness of daylight falling through the window, I wanted to reach the viewer's senses. I would like you to feel the smell of apples, cinnamon, butter and vanilla when looking at this photo....

The fruits complement the tree itself, and its seeds were seen as the seeds of a new plant...
