White Cup On Oak Counter

Square close-up of a barista's hands setting a plain ceramic cup on a pale oak counter. The cup is completely uniform matte white #FFFFFF — no sleeve, no sticker, no printing, no lettering, no mark of any kind on any surface. Hands and forearms sharp, counter grain visible. Background: cool blurred café interior at f/2.8, reduced to soft slate blue #2B4C7E and pale grey-blue #B8C4CE shapes — no menu boards, no signage, no price cards, no readable or letter-like forms anywhere. Cool daylight through a shopfront window from the left, even and clean, soft shadow under the cup. Camera slightly above hand level, 50mm, hands and cup in sharp focus. Palette: white #FFFFFF dominant, #B8C4CE background, #2B4C7E accents. Morning coffee shop.
