Not Quite Sealed
An unmarked takeaway coffee cup with a partly unseated lid rests on a café service ledge, lit by an interior pendant against a cool evening street.

Hyperrealistic candid editorial street photograph, 2:3 portrait. Viewed from the pavement at a slight oblique angle, one plain cream takeaway coffee cup stands on the worn stainless-steel ledge of an open café pickup hatch. Its charcoal lid is snapped down on one side but visibly lifted along the opposite edge; a small brown coffee bead clings beneath that gap. The cup is the sole focal point, occupying the lower middle of the frame. A simple pendant inside the café casts warm practical light across the paper cup and brushed metal, balanced by cool dusk light from the street. Dark window framing creates generous quiet space above; a narrow strip of softly blurred wet pavement establishes the exterior location. No people. Natural paper fibers, restrained reflections, convincing optical depth. 50mm lens, moderate depth of field, professional exposure, subtle editorial colour grading. Observed rather than polished product styling. No text, logos or watermarks.
