Lakeside Artifact: A Photorealistic Discovery

Photorealistic scene of an ancient artifact by a lake. A weathered bronze idol with intricate engravings sits half-buried among smooth lake pebbles and damp moss. Patina in green and brown hues, with fine scratches and coral-like encrustations. Gentle morning light from a low sun glints on the metal, casting soft reflections on the glassy water. Surrounding scenery includes a quiet lakeside with ferns, reeds, and pine trees, a calm blue-green lake reflecting a pastel sky, and distant misty mountains. Add micro-textures: corrosion, pitting, grain, and subtle wet surfaces. Use a shallow depth of field with the artifact in sharp focus and the background softly blurred; high-resolution, cinematic composition, 50mm lens, f/2.8.
