Snow Monkey in Nagano Hot Spring Amid Winter Snow

Photorealistic scene of a Japanese macaque (snow monkey) soaking in a natural hot spring in Yamanouchi, Nagano, Japan, during a gentle winter snowfall. The steaming pool is edged with smooth rocks and weathered wooden beams, surrounded by snow-laden evergreen trees. White powder on the ground and soft flakes falling from a pale gray sky. The macaque lounges with a relaxed posture, pink face calm, damp fur, gazing softly toward the viewer. Steam wisps rise around the monkey, curling into the cold air. In the background, distant snow-covered mountains peek through mist, while the amber glow of the water contrasts with the cool blues and whites of the scene. Composition centers the macaque in the foreground with shallow depth of field, cinematic lighting, ultra-detailed fur, water ripples, and delicate snowflakes enhancing the tranquil winter setting.
