Red-crested Cardinal in Buenos Aires Japanese Garden

Photorealistic, high-resolution scene of a red-crested cardinal perched on a mossy rock in the Jardín Japonés in Buenos Aires. The cardinal’s bright crimson crest and white belly contrast with a surrounding tapestry of blooms: pink cherry blossoms, magenta azaleas, and sunny yellow camellias. Nearby, a tranquil koi pond reflects the blossoms and a weathered stone lantern sits on the bank. A low bamboo fence, stepping stones, and a small vermilion torii-inspired arch hint at the traditional Japanese garden setting. Soft, dappled morning light filters through the foliage, creating gentle reflections on the water and a peaceful, lyrical mood. Rich textures: ruffled feathers, rough bark, lush moss, smooth petals, and glistening water. Composition emphasizes the bird on the rock with the blooms and garden features receding into the background, shallow depth of field, 3:2 aspect. --ar 3:2 --v 5
