Moody Still Life of Hemlock Flower in Glass Vial with Extinguished Candle

A sophisticated dark moody photograph of a single hemlock flower (Conium maculatum) in a small, antique glass vial. The vial sits on a dark, weathered wooden table next to an extinguished candle with a trail of smoke and a scattered handful of ancient, tarnished coins. The background is a dark, out-of-focus library. The lighting is low-key, reminiscent of a Dutch Master's still life painting, with a single, soft light source illuminating the delicate white flowers, making them look deceptively innocent and pure against the oppressive darkness. Photorealistic, macro, philosophical, ominous.
