A Fin in the Foam

Real-life high-concept editorial photograph, square 1:1. A small plain off-white ceramic cup of freshly served hot chocolate on a dark café tabletop. A level topping of ivory milk foam fills the cup; one thin, irregular dark-chocolate shaving rests partly submerged, its triangular broken corner sticking up like a tiny shark fin. It is visibly ordinary chocolate, not a sculpted decoration. Photograph just above rim height with a 70mm lens, showing the foam surface and the jagged garnish clearly; crop the lower cup slightly. Shaded natural window light from the left catches the pale foam and chocolate edge, while the tabletop and simple background fall into deep but readable shadow. Restrained natural brown and cream colours, realistic exposure, a few uneven bubbles, no exaggerated texture. Quiet visual humour, ample dark space above, no other props or people. No text, logos or watermarks.
