Hyperrealistic high-concept editorial studio still-life photograph, 16:9 landscape. One handmade rectangular terrain slab, approximately 60 cm long, rests on a matte charcoal tabletop. A continuous miniature river channel enters one short edge, follows two broad, natural meander bends through compacted ochre clay, and exits the opposite edge. Clear shallow water, gently undercut outer banks and small sandy deposits along the inner bends make the river morphology recognizable. Straight slab edges contrast with the freely winding channel. Photograph from an elevated three-quarter angle with a 70mm lens; the model occupies the right two-thirds, leaving quiet empty tabletop at left. Low warm sunset-style backlight catches the water in controlled amber reflections; soft neutral fill preserves the clay's earthy colour and handmade irregularities. Keep the entire winding channel sharp, with gentle background falloff. A tangible physical model, not a landscape composite or CGI render. No people, text, logos or watermarks.
