Transform the attached photo into artwork in this style: Iridescent metal render.

Essential elements: [subject]
Palette and mood: [palette]

Reinterpret the still life as a sophisticated sculptural 3D product render. Convert the tulip petals and leaves into smooth thin iridescent metal forms, preserving the bouquet silhouette and stems. Keep the vase clear polished glass. Simplify the wicker basket into a matte warm-white sculptural woven volume so it does not compete with the reflective flowers. Simplify the window background into soft architectural planes while preserving the original object arrangement. Use large softbox-like reflections to reveal curvature and restrained thin-film-like color shifts; keep broad quiet silver areas. No liquid melting, mirror chaos, neon glow, oil-slick saturation, faceted crystals, extra flowers or text. This is a raster image with a holographic-material aesthetic, not a hologram or an editable 3D model.

Use the attached photograph as the only visual reference. Preserve its camera viewpoint, major silhouettes, relative positions, and recognizable subject. Simplify fine details without adding objects. Produce only the finished artwork, not a comparison, mockup or framed print. Keep the original landscape aspect ratio, at least 1400 pixels wide. No text, lettering, logos, signature or watermark; omit any signage visible in the photograph.
