Two Thumbs Opening a Wet Clay Bowl on the Wheel

A Sikh man in his early forties sits at a pottery wheel: medium-brown skin, full black beard greying at the chin, plain navy turban, broad sturdy build, plain oatmeal linen apron. On the wheel head a plain open bowl of wet grey clay has just risen. His two thumbs rest inside the rim while his fingers outside support the wall, each hand carrying four fingers and a thumb, exactly five digits visible or anatomically accounted for per hand. A bucket of water and a sponge sit beside him. Seen from the front at a low three-quarter angle, framed head to knees, wide 16:9. Look: a real photograph that reads as a normally processed positive print from chromogenic colour-negative film, natural scene polarity, lifelike colour. Keep the stock's character with a natural 50mm perspective, moderate depth of field, fine irregular grain, tangible surface texture, a faint warm palette, believable midtones and gentle highlight rolloff. Broad soft daylight falls evenly, shadows open, saturation restrained and organic. Keep every surface free of lettering, labels, numbers and logos; bowl, shelves and tools stay plain.
