Majestic Sphinx on a Snowy Summit

Photorealistic sphinx with a human head and a powerful lion body, standing or perched on a windswept snowy mountain summit. Frost clings to fur and whiskers, breath visible in the cold air, wind blowing snow around the creature. Dawn alpenglow bathes jagged peaks in pink and gold, pale blue sky, distant ranges, and wispy clouds on the horizon. Ultra-detailed textures: fur, stone-like face, snow crystals, and glistening scales of frost. Cinematic composition from a low angle, depth of field keeping the sphinx in razor focus while the alpine scenery softly blurs behind. 8k realism, hyperreal lighting, cinematic atmosphere.
