Serene Grey Heron at Hiroshima Riverside

Photorealistic, cinematic scene of a serene grey heron gracefully wading along the waterside of the Motoyasu River in Hiroshima, Japan. The bird stands in shallow, clear water with gentle ripples, its long neck extended in an elegant S-shape as it surveys the surface. The riverbank is strewn with smooth stones, grasses, and willows; reflections shimmer on the water. In the distance, Hiroshima's skyline glows softly under warm golden-hour light, with distant hills and a pale blue sky. A light morning mist hovers over the water, adding depth and atmosphere. Color palette: natural greys, blues, greens with touches of pink from nearby blossoms. Composition follows the rule of thirds, focusing on the heron while conveying a tranquil mood.
