Bubbles in Sparkling Water on Prato Workbench

North-window sidelight strikes a glass of sparkling water resting on a worn wooden workbench in Prato. Thousands of carbonation bubbles climb the interior glass walls, clustering near the rim before bursting. The late spring noon sun creates a flat glare that reflects off the polished liquid surface. Fine wood grain runs diagonally beneath the glass, showing signs of age and use. Shallow depth of field blurs the background into soft, indistinct shapes while keeping the rising bubbles in sharp focus. Tiny highlights dance across the curved glass edges. at the edge is a single bubble clinging to the inner curve, suspended just above the water line.
