The Enchanted Market: Photorealistic Merchant

Ultra-detailed photorealistic depiction of a seasoned merchant standing behind a glowing stall in a magical realm. The merchant is a middle-aged human with a lined face, salt-and-pepper beard, and keen eyes. He wears layered robes of emerald green and copper, adorned with arcane sigils and subtle embroidery; a weathered leather satchel hangs from his belt along with small talismans. The stall overflows with enchanted wares: jars of living essences that softly pulse, levitating glass orbs, intricately carved driftwood staffs, and a floating map that hovers above the counter. The market is alive with magic: lanterns that float and glow; tiny sprites fluttering; a translucent, glowing mist curling around brass and glass surfaces. The background reveals a surreal landscape of floating islands, bioluminescent flora, and a distant crystalline city. Lighting is cinematic—warm golden hour mixed with cool magical glow, casting rich highlights on leather, velvet, and gem surfaces. The scene is hyper-realistic with texture detail on fabrics, metal, and glass; shallow depth of field focuses on the merchant and stall, while the bustling magical market softly blurs in the background.
