Photorealistic Phoenix on a Sunset Beach

Ultra-detailed photorealistic phoenix standing on a jagged coastal rock at the edge of a sunlit beach during golden hour. Iridescent plumage in crimson, orange, and molten gold with hints of sapphire; each feather finely rendered with microtexture and a molten glow along the edges. Embers glow along the crest and tail; wisps of heat shimmer rise as wind ruffles the feathers. The long tail trails behind like a living flame. Wet sand reflects the fiery bird while gentle turquoise waves roll in with white foam. The sky is a dramatic gradient from orange to pink to lavender with a low sun on the horizon and subtle lens flare. Shot with a shallow depth of field (85mm equivalent) for cinematic focus, HDR realism, volumetric light, and hyper-detailed textures.
