When I learned under Kobayashi Chizu sensei, she taughe us about the differences between the habits of European Go players and Japanese conventions (sitting at a Goban on a table).
From what I remember of her teachings, this should be a pretty good example:
Since the guy in the picture is right-handed, his bowl is placed at his right and the lid where prisonders are supposed to be put is in both players' field of vision (though for pros it is impolite to count the prisoners in the lid).
Furthermore you can see that the elbows are off the table, the hand is off the lid until the moment he knows where he would play and reaches for one stone from the bowl which he would place on the board in a confident way.
From my experience it is not that strict at the tournaments, but you should avoid rattling with stones or play with them making a lot of noise because it annoys approximately 100% of Go players. Except of course the one Boom! you make when putting the stone on the board.
Alright! Find 3 mistakes in this picture:
