Real-life editorial photograph, 3:2 landscape, overhead view of a pale grey outdoor picnic tabletop. An opened, unprinted iridescent foil food pouch enters from the upper-left edge, with a small loose spill of dry golden wagon-wheel pasta extending diagonally toward the centre. The pasta is the focal point: clearly recognizable rings and spokes, irregular overlaps, a few separated pieces, not a deliberate pattern. The pouch has believable folds and restrained pink, cyan and silver reflections from its pearlescent metallic surface. Broad cloudy-sky daylight, soft contact shadows, realistic exposure and natural wheat colour. Strong graphic crop with the right third mostly empty. Medium-distance framing, 50mm lens, enough depth of field to keep the pasta and foil readable. Everyday outdoor surface with subtle genuine wear, no manufactured dirt, no added grain, no artificial blur or HDR. No people, no text, no logos or watermarks.
