Add an element into a scene so it looks like it belongs

№ 87

№ The prompt

Add [describe the element — e.g. a potted plant on the desk / a coffee cup beside the laptop] into this photo. Match its scale and perspective to the existing scene, light it from the same direction as everything else, and give it a believable contact shadow. Do not change the rest of the image — keep the existing subjects, composition, and lighting as they are. The added element should look photographed in place, not pasted on top.

    A floating, pasted-on look, a missing or mismatched shadow, or altering the rest of the scene.
