A Pencil Dead Centre, Gold Rim Equal on Every Side
1:1 transparent background: a yellow pencil tip in the exact centre of a target, all rings sharing one centre.
✍️ "Equal gold rim all round" is what makes or breaks this image: it turns the off-centre check into a measurable description, far more reliable than just saying "dead centre". The transparency line also has to be pinned down as "not white, not a checkerboard", or the model will draw fake transparency.

Conceptual product photograph, square 1:1, close head-on view, crisp studio lighting, clean matte surfaces. Background: fully transparent, with a true alpha channel, alpha exactly zero around the object (no white, no colour, no checkerboard).
Subject: a plain round archery target on a short wooden tripod stand. Its concentric rings alternate pale cream and slate grey and narrow down to a small warm-gold disc in the middle. A single sharpened yellow pencil is stuck tip-first into the exact centre. Its point meets the geometric midpoint of the gold disc, so a thin, even band of gold shows on every side of the entry point, the same width left, right, above and below; the point and the one shared centre of all the rings are the very same spot. The pencil's hexagonal yellow body and pink eraser end stick out directly toward the viewer, foreshortened, only a few degrees off the lens axis.
At the foot of the stand, a soft semi-transparent black contact shadow lives inside the alpha channel, darkest at the point of contact and fading outward. Target, stand and pencil sit wholly within the frame with at least five percent of the shorter edge as margin on all sides. No other projectiles. All surfaces plain: no text, captions, logos or watermarks.
