Photorealistic Scorpion in a Kaleidoscope

Photorealistic macro shot of a scorpion, extreme close-up, on a dark, reflective surface. The scorpion's detailed chitinous exoskeleton is positioned at the center and mirrored into a kaleidoscopic mandala of glassy facets. The reflections create radial symmetry around the central body, with vivid iridescent colors—emerald greens, electric blues, amber golds, and hints of violet. Crisp textures on the pincers, joints, legs, pedipalps, and fine hairs are visible, while the background stays soft and out-of-focus to emphasize subject and kaleidoscopic patterns. Lighting is dramatic yet diffused to enhance texture and color shift, giving a cinematic, otherworldly mood.
