Hyperrealistic editorial material-sample photograph, vertical 5:6. One rectangular offcut from a retired off-white polyethylene chopping board rests diagonally on a clean brushed stainless-steel food-preparation counter. Its dry upper surface carries broad, intersecting knife scars and several deeper grooves; the straight cut edge reveals the solid material beneath. No food, grime or exaggerated contamination. Photograph from a three-quarter overhead angle with a 70mm lens, keeping the specimen sharply resolved and the surrounding counter gently softer. Low raking neutral light reveals the damaged surface; faint blue-green reflected fill along one edge evokes nocturnal aurora colour without implying an outdoor scene. Restrained cream, steel-grey and cool teal palette, controlled highlights, believable matte polymer and metal reflections. The specimen occupies the lower two-thirds, with quiet empty counter above. Understated, contemplative documentation of a food-contact surface at the end of its useful life. No people, no text, no logos, no watermarks.
