A vibrant and high-angle studio shot showcasing a raw butternut squash, cut lengthwise and placed on a warm wooden cutting board. The bright orange flesh of the squash is the focal point, with its seeds removed and placed in a small beige bowl resting on a woven mat. The composition is surrounded by other fresh ingredients, including a knife, mushrooms, a piece of celery, and small mini bell peppers (red, orange, and yellow) on a cool, light gray concrete-look background, suggesting a meal preparation or cooking scene.
