Photorealistic Hawk Gliding Through Cloudscape

A photorealistic hawk gliding high above a sea of soft, cottony clouds on a bright day. The hawk's plumage is intricately detailed with brown and tan mottling, each feather sharp and textured. The beak and talons are crisp, eyes amber and focused. Wings are spread in a majestic, slightly forward-leaning glide, with wind subtly ruffling the feathers. Sunlight streams through gaps in the cloud cover, casting golden highlights along the wings and chest, while wispy contrails of cloud surround and blur into a blue horizon. Viewpoint from just below the bird, giving a sense of scale as distant cumulus layers fade into a pale azure sky. The atmosphere is serene yet epic, with high-resolution micro-detail and a sense of motion in the air.
