Realistic photo capturing two bits of fabric (9)
I believe the answer is:
pragmatic
'realistic' is the definition.
(similar in meaning)
'photo capturing two bits of fabric' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'fabric' could be 'rag' (rag is a kind of fabric) and 'rag' is found within the answer.
This may be the basis of clue (or it may be nonsense).
(Other definitions for pragmatic that I've seen before include "Dealing with things practically rather than theoretically" , "Matter-of-fact" , "for best results?" , "Realistic" , "Down-to-earth" .)
