Serene Dry Tree Reflected in Hierve el Agua, Oaxaca

A hyperrealistic landscape photograph of a serene scene at Hierve el Agua, Oaxaca, Mexico. A gnarled, dry tree stands at the edge of a perfectly still turquoise pool, its broken silhouette and branches mirrored in the glassy water. Behind it rise pale travertine terraces and white calcareous cliffs, softly lit by warm morning light. The valley is faintly misted, with a pastel sky and gentle clouds. The foreground shows mineral-streaked shoreline and tiny ripples that barely disturb the reflection. The overall mood is tranquil and meditative, with rich textures on the tree bark, crisp reflections, and a harmonious balance between earth and water.
