Tea After Sundown
An open paper cup of tea rests on a concrete street bollard against a dim street and a narrow crescent moon.

Quiet documentary street photograph, 4:5 portrait. One unbranded chalk-white paper cup, half-full of dark tea, left on the flat top of a sand-coloured concrete bollard. Photograph close from just above rim height so the tea surface is visible, with the cup in the lower third. The bollard forms a simple vertical block; beyond it, an empty street recedes beneath an open blue-grey sky with a tiny crescent moon. Early night just after sunset: residual sky light gently reveals the cup rim and concrete, while the street falls into subdued shadow. The crescent is not a spotlight. Preserve believable low-light exposure and natural colour, with readable cup detail rather than crushed blacks. Observed, unarranged, slightly off-centre framing; 50mm lens, moderate depth of field, no artificial blur. Ordinary paper creases and concrete irregularities, no added grime or grain. No people, no text, no logos or watermarks.
