Dawn Mist on the Lake: A Lone Duck

A lone duck glides across a misty lake at sunrise, the scene bathed in warm, pastel light. The water is glassy and mirrors the peach and lavender sky, with delicate ripples trailing behind the duck. A soft fog rolls over the surface, wisps curling above reeds at the shore. Distant trees and a gentle horizon blur into the mist, creating a tranquil, picturesque atmosphere. Photo-realistic style with a low camera angle at water level, crisp detail on the duck and gentle bokeh in the background, high dynamic range to capture the glow of dawn. Color palette of soft golds, apricot, pinks, and cool blues. Mood: serene, peaceful, contemplative.
