Misty Lotus Pond at Sunrise

Cinematic fantasy nature landscape during a [golden sunrise]: a tranquil, misty lotus pond with a single tall [blue-gray heron] standing in the shallow reflective water at the center, its full reflection visible beneath it. The scene is framed on the left by an ancient weeping cherry tree with dark, twisting branches and cascading pale pink blossoms, while a dense forest of pines and flowering trees encloses the background. The low golden sun rests just above the treeline slightly right of center, casting warm orange rays, peach-colored sky light, soft atmospheric haze, and shimmering reflections across the water surface. In the foreground, exactly 9 prominent [soft pink] lotus elements appear amidst broad green lily pads: 6 open lotus flowers (largest on the lower right, another large bloom near lower center-left, two on the far left, and smaller blooms farther back on the right) and 3 closed buds. A traditional wooden lakeside gazebo rests on the far right bank, softened by the mist. Style: photorealistic digital painting, soft volumetric fog, warm pastel palette, crisp foreground detail, dreamy depth of field. A [serene magical] atmosphere, wide composition, no people, no text, no modern structures.
