Harvesting Sierra Plants in Xicotepec de Juárez, Mexico

A photorealistic scene of a Mexican farmer harvesting sierra plants in Xicotepec de Juárez, Puebla, Mexico. The farmer stands on a sunlit terraced hillside bordered by lush foliage: broad tropical leaves, ferns, and climbing vines. He wears a wide-brimmed straw hat, a light cotton shirt with sleeves rolled up, denim overalls, and sturdy boots. In his hands he uses a machete to cut the sierra plants from the stalks, a woven basket at his side catching the harvest. The background reveals distant pine and cloud forest on steep mountains, with warm golden-hour light filtering through the leaves and a soft mist settling over the valley. Textures include rich brown soil, weathered wood, and glossy green foliage, all rendered in hyper-realistic, high-resolution cinematic lighting with shallow depth of field slightly blurring the far background.
