Lightning Over a Rain-Slick Garden at Night

Photorealistic scene of a lush garden during a fierce thunderstorm at night. A jagged lightning bolt splits the dark, cloud-choked sky, its electric blue-white light illuminating rain-soaked leaves, petals, and a winding stone path. The bolt's glare reflects off wet cobbles, a small fountain spraying droplets, and the surface of a shallow pond, while warm amber garden lanterns along a border cast cozy pools of light that contrast with the cold flash. Dew beads on ferns, hydrangea blooms, and rose petals sparkle as rain pours down in ribbons. Mist hangs in the air, distant trees loom under the storm. The camera is at eye level with a 50mm lens, shallow depth of field so foreground textures pop and the background softens into bokeh, with high dynamic range to balance the bright flash and the shadows. Mood is dramatic, cinematic, and hyper-realistic.
