Hyperrealistic contemporary editorial studio still-life photograph, 2:3 portrait. One germinating broad bean rests on a thin bed of damp white cotton inside a shallow, worn cream enamel saucer. Its swollen tan seed coat has split naturally; a short ivory radicle curves onto the cotton, with no mature leaves. Close three-quarter overhead view, the seed in the lower middle, the saucer rim partially cropped, quiet shadowed space above. A broad cool studio flash from the left evokes the fleeting illumination of distant lightning, with restrained neutral fill preserving seed detail. Small enamel chips and faint water marks suggest a remembered childhood growing experiment. Muted cream, tan and blue-grey palette. 100mm macro lens, controlled focus stacking across the seed and root, gently softer surrounding cotton. Convincing moisture, delicate cotton fibres, accurate plant anatomy, controlled highlights, no exaggerated sharpening or CGI appearance. No people, no text, no logos, no watermarks.
