Real-life narrative editorial photograph, 3:2 landscape. A pale cream enamel colander filled with freshly drained brown lentils rests on the ribbed metal draining board of a modest courtyard utility sink. Photograph from a high oblique angle, medium-close framing: the oval of lentils sits left of centre, while the sink ribs run diagonally through the open right side. Lentils remain individually recognizable, moist but not glossy; a few water droplets cling beneath the colander. One small existing chip on its rim, no exaggerated distressing. Diffuse overcast daylight, gentle shadows, natural brown, cream and cool grey colours. Familiar household atmosphere, quietly reminiscent without sepia or artificial grain. 50mm lens, enough depth of field to keep the food and sink believable. No people, extra props, text, logos or watermarks.
