Graceful Egret at Sunset: Tranquil Reflection

Photorealistic scene of a graceful egret standing in calm, glassy water at sunset. The elegant bird has a long, curved neck and pristine white plumage highlighted by warm golden light. Its reflection forms a near-perfect mirror on the tranquil surface, with gentle ripples around its legs. The sky glows in gradients of amber, pink, and lavender, with soft clouds and a serene horizon. In the distance, muted silhouettes of trees frame the scene, enhancing the sense of peace. Focus on intricate feather details, bright eye, and subtle wet sheen on the beak and feet. Use natural, cinematic lighting and a shallow depth of field so the background remains softly blurred while the egret stays crisp. Compose the shot with the bird slightly off-center, near the bottom third, at water level to emphasize reflection and stillness. Optional: a touch of painterly glow to evoke timeless beauty.
