Contemporary editorial studio still-life photograph, 4:5 portrait. One sprouting red onion rests across the mouth of a plain narrow drinking glass, its basal plate just touching water. Several uneven green shoots rise from the purple papery bulb; pale roots trail visibly into the water. Photograph from slightly above tabletop height, close enough to make the onion the clear hero while retaining the whole glass and shoot tips. Bright yellow laminate work surface and a matte cobalt-blue backdrop create a simple, punchy colour block. Ordinary overhead fluorescent office light, broad cool illumination, modest glass reflections and a soft grounded shadow; neutral white balance preserves realistic colours. Naturally loose onion skin, clear water, believable refraction, no ornamental props. Moderate depth of field keeps bulb, shoots and roots readable without artificial blur. Leave breathing room around the silhouette. No people, no text, no logos or watermarks.
