Photographic Cartoon Swamp at Golden Hour

Photograph-style image of a swamp rendered in vivid cartoon style. The scene is lit by golden-hour sunlight, with saturated greens and blues. In the foreground, tall cattails, lily pads, and a plump frog with oversized eyes perch on a pad. A friendly, smiling alligator peeks from the murky water. Cartoon trees with faces lean over the water, and wisps of hanging moss add texture. The water reflects the whimsical characters with gentle ripples and cartoon-colored reflections. The midground shows tangled roots and more playful critters; the background fades into soft mist and blurred trees. The overall look blends realistic photography (depth of field, lens blur, subtle film grain) with bold cartoon shading, thick black outlines on characters, and flat color blocks for accents. Camera vibe: 50mm lens, f/4, natural HDR, 3:2 aspect ratio, slight vignette, high-resolution feel.
