High-key editorial studio photograph, 3:2 landscape. Overhead close view of one freshly halved red onion, cut face upward on a matte ivory food-preparation board. The onion fills the left half, its outer edge partially cropped; irregular purple-and-white concentric rings form a strong circular graphic. A copper-purple strip of dry outer skin curls toward the open right side, still attached by a narrow natural hinge, casting a faint delicate shadow. Capture the ordinary detail of peeling interrupted, not an arranged cooking demonstration. Soft diffused morning window light from upper left, white bounce fill, bright background with retained surface detail. Natural colour, moist cut flesh without exaggerated gloss, restrained texture, sufficient depth of field to keep the onion and peel clear. Empty space on the right. No utensils, people, manufactured dirt, artificial grain, HDR, text, logos or watermarks.
