Close-Up Humboldt Penguin by Tranquil Waters

Ultra-detailed close-up of a Humboldt penguin standing by calm, mirror-like water in a tranquil coastal setting. The frame is tight on the penguin from the chest up, at eye level. The penguin has glossy black feathers on the head and back, a white belly, and a distinctive white eye-stripe that runs around the face. A few droplets of seawater cling to the feathers. Soft golden-hour light bathes the scene, casting warm highlights and gentle shadows, while the water reflects the pale blue sky. The background is a softly blurred shoreline with smooth pebbles and distant rocks, rendered in cool blues and greens to enhance serenity. Use a shallow depth of field for a dreamy bokeh around the penguin. Mood: peaceful, introspective; photorealistic, high resolution, natural colors.
