The Fragile Edge
A physical chalk-cliff model rests on a slate base, its undercut ledge and fallen fragments revealed by soft daylight.

Hyperrealistic editorial still-life photograph, landscape 4:3. A single hand-built coastal cliff model carved from genuine off-white chalk rests on a thin charcoal slate base beside a window. Its steep fractured face rises to a narrow projecting ledge, with an eroded recess beneath and a few chalk fragments directly at its foot. Clearly a tangible geological model, not a real landscape or digital rendering. Tight three-quarter side view at model height; the cliff fills the left two-thirds, its overhang pointing into quiet gray negative space. Show a small corner of the slate base to establish physical scale. Soft overcast window daylight reveals powdery chalk, irregular fractures and believable contact shadows. Restrained ivory and charcoal palette, controlled highlights, 85mm lens, sufficient depth of field to keep the ledge and cliff face sharp, background gently softened. No people, no text, no logos, no watermarks.
