Photoreal Octopus in a Castle Garden

Photorealistic depiction of a vibrant octopus in a sunlit castle garden. A red-orange octopus rests on a mossy stone ledge beside a shallow, crystal-clear pond, tentacles draped across weathered stepping stones and glistening with moisture. Surroundings include meticulously trimmed box hedges, precise topiary shapes, ivy-clad stone walls, and a distant medieval castle rising beyond. A wrought-iron fountain splashes softly, reflections shimmer on the water, and warm golden-hour light casts long, natural shadows. Ultra-detailed skin texture and suction cups on the tentacles, realistic light refractions in the water, and subtle ripples. Color palette blends emerald greens, warm stone beiges, and deep ocean blues for contrast. Slight depth-of-field keeps the octopus in sharp focus while the garden recedes into a gentle blur.
