Curious Japanese Macaque in Snow, Yamanouchi

Hyper-detailed photorealistic image of a curious Japanese macaque (Macaca fuscata) sitting upright in fresh snow in Yamanouchi, Nagano, Japan. The macaque has thick gray-brown fur dusted with snow, a pink face, and inquisitive eyes fixed on the viewer. Snow falls gently; tiny ice crystals cling to whiskers and fur. Surroundings include snow-covered evergreen trees, a tranquil winter forest, and distant snow-capped mountains under a pale blue sky. To the left, faint steam rises from Jigokudani's hot springs. Lighting is soft diffuse winter light with cool tones and warm highlights on the macaque's fur. Foreground shows paw prints and frost on pine needles; shallow depth of field keeps the macaque sharp while the background is softly blurred. Style: cinematic wildlife photography, ultra-realistic texture, 8k resolution.
