Photographic Concept Tree: Surreal Yet Realistic

An ancient, colossal tree stands alone on a misty hillside, rendered as concept art but captured as a high-resolution photograph. The tree's branches twist into geometric, almost fractal patterns, while the leaves glow with a soft iridescent light. The scene blends painterly concept-art aesthetics with photorealistic detail: shallow depth of field with a 50mm lens, cinematic golden-hour lighting, subtle film grain and HDR contrast. Atmosphere is serene and surreal: lavender and amber sky, rolling fog, dew on emerald grass in the foreground. The bark bears stylized textures—patterns and runes—giving a fantasy feel while remaining convincingly photographic. Composition uses the rule of thirds, with the tree off-center, roots leading to the canopy, and a softly blurred background to emphasize depth. Color palette emphasizes teal, emerald, and warm gold, with delicate specular highlights on leaves and mist.
