Photoreal Ice Crystals on Snowy Castle Battlements

Photorealistic close-up of ice crystals forming on ancient stone castle battlements. A macro shot reveals frost patterns, delicate icicles dangling from crenellations, and hexagonal ice prisms catching pale dawn light. Snow dusts rough stone; the air is crisp and cold with misty breath. The scene is under a cool gray-blue winter sky, with a faint golden sunrise glow along the ice edges. High dynamic range, ultra-detailed textures of rough stone versus glassy ice; light refracts in tiny rainbows within the crystal facets. Foreground crystals are in sharp focus while distant battlements blur, creating a diagonal receding line across the composition. Low-angle view along the parapet conveys wind-swept serenity and timelessness.
