The Matcha Whisk’s Shadow

Overhead food photograph of a used bamboo matcha whisk lying diagonally beside one irregularly glazed pale-gray tea bowl containing deep green foam. A narrow strip of morning sun crosses the tabletop and projects the many fine whisk tines as long sharp shadows. Only a small dark-green linen corner at lower left, pale warm wood background, meticulous realistic foam bubbles, no ceremonial clutter. Create one single finished photograph, aspect ratio 1:1. No collage, no lettering, no logos, no watermark. Original composition; photorealistic materials, natural proportions, controlled highlights and detailed shadows.
