Photorealistic 3D Chicken in a Mangrove Swamp

Photorealistic 3D render of a chicken standing in a mangrove swamp. Ultra-detailed plumage with natural iridescence, red comb and wattles, damp feathers, and muddy legs. The chicken stands on a mud bank among twisting mangrove roots, with brackish water reflecting dappled sunlight. Dense canopy above, with hanging Spanish moss and soft mist in the air. Lighting is cinematic: sunbeams piercing through leaves, soft volumetric shadows, realistic water caustics and wet surfaces on feathers and mud. Render using physically-based shading with global illumination and ray-traced shadows. Camera at eye level, 45mm focal length, shallow depth of field to blur distant mangroves. 4K resolution, highly detailed textures, natural greens, browns, and warm sunlight.
