Hyper-Realistic Food Photography of Creamy Croissant

A highly detailed JSON prompt for generating hyper-realistic food photography of a twisted, cream-filled pastry. It specifies extreme micro-contrast, studio lighting, shallow depth of field with large bokeh, and precise details on the texture, color palette (golden brown, dark teal), and the viscous flow of the cream, aiming for an ultra-sharp, cinematic finish.
