Lemon Through Glass

Contemporary editorial studio photograph, 4:5 portrait, high-key exposure. One small, rounded clear tumbler of pale-yellow lemonade sits on a matte, very pale blue tabletop against an off-white background. Photograph almost at tabletop height, close enough that the glass occupies the lower two-thirds of the frame. A thin lemon wheel rests inside against the front wall, partly submerged; the curved glass and liquid naturally enlarge and gently distort its yellow rind and translucent segments. A few irregular ice cubes sit at the surface, with sparse condensation on the outside. Preserve physically plausible refraction, not a surreal giant lemon. Large softbox at upper left, broad clean highlights, faint soft contact shadow, natural colour. Use an 85mm lens and sufficient depth of field to keep the glass and lemon clear. Slightly off-centre placement, quiet space above, no extra props or people. No text, logos or watermarks.
