Majestic Lion in a Birch Forest (Photorealistic)

An ultra-detailed photorealistic image of an adult male African lion with a full mane, standing tall in a quiet birch forest. White-barked birch trees with black markings rise around him; a soft carpet of moss, ferns, and fallen leaves covers the forest floor. Golden-hour sunlight streams through the trunks, casting warm, golden light on the lion’s tawny fur and creating long shadows. The mane is lush and windswept, fur texture visible in individual strands, whiskers clearly defined, amber eyes focused forward. Slight breeze causes leaves to shimmer and the grass to ripple. The background is softly blurred with shallow depth of field to emphasize the subject, yet enough detail to suggest a serene forest setting. Color palette: warm golds and creams with cool greens and blues in the shadows. Cinematic composition, 85mm perspective, high dynamic range, 8K-quality realism, natural, lifelike, with no human-made elements.
