The image depicts a beautifully arranged basket filled with pecans, both in shells and shelled halves. The basket itself is woven from light brown wicker material, showing great craftsmanship and a tight weave, suggesting durability and strength. It has a rounded handle that arches gracefully over the mound of pecans inside. The basket appears to be lit from an intense light source, likely from the left, creating a dramatic contrast between the brightness of the basket and its contents against a very dark, almost black background.

Inside the basket, the pecans are piled high, showcasing their rich textures and varied shapes. The unshelled pecans are smooth and oval-shaped, with a warm, earthy brown color and subtle striations marking their shells. The shelled pecan halves display their characteristic grooved surfaces, revealing a deeper, almost reddish-brown hue and a slight sheen from their natural oils.

Interspersed among the pecans are vibrant green leaves, adding a splash of natural color and life to the composition. The leaves are gently curved with visible veins, and their rich green color contrasts beautifully with the browns of the pecans and basket. Some leaves caress the edges of the basket, extending beyond its boundaries and giving the arrangement a lush, overflowing appearance.

At the base of the basket, a few pecans have spilled out onto a subtly illuminated surface. These pecans, in the foreground, capture the same intricate details of texture and color, and the subtle lighting highlights their contours and enhances the overall warmth of the scene. The meticulous arrangement and lighting create a harmonious and inviting visual, emphasizing the rustic charm and natural beauty of the pecans and the basket.
