Thunderbird Over the Rushing River

Photorealistic rendering of a colossal thunderbird perched on a moss-covered rock beside a raging river in a misty forest canyon. The bird's plumage shimmers with iridescent blues, copper-gold highlights, and charcoal-black feathers, with electric blue accents along the wings. Its eyes are piercing amber and its talons grip the slick rock. Whitewater roars downstream, sending spray that beads on feathers and creates a halo of mist around the bird. Dark storm clouds brood overhead, with a jagged bolt of lightning illuminating the scene and rain beads sliding off the feathers. The lighting is cinematic: backlit with a glowing rim around the bird, high-contrast shadows, and vibrant color grading to emphasize blues and golds. Perspective is slightly below eye level, using a 50-85mm lens look, with shallow depth of field so the thunderbird is razor sharp while the rushing river blurs into a silky ribbon. The overall mood is epic and awe-inspiring, a hyper-real depiction of a mythic bird in its wild, thunderous habitat.
