Hyperrealistic documentary editorial photograph, 3:2 landscape, inside a municipal recycling centre’s covered glass-sorting bay. From a slightly elevated oblique viewpoint, show one broad, worn galvanized-steel hopper containing loose clear and pale-green glass fragments and discarded bottles. One intact, unlabelled cobalt-blue bottle lies diagonally near the front, the quiet focal point, naturally lodged among the material rather than posed upright. Include the hopper’s scuffed rim, a short section of industrial guardrail and clean, worn concrete floor extending into generous negative space on the right. Broad overcast daylight through an overhead skylight creates soft, physically credible reflections and controlled highlights. 50mm lens, moderate depth of field, realistic glass thickness, understated colour grading, ordinary operational wear without visual clutter. No people, no text, no logos, no watermarks.
