Fantastic style! I adore the light and reflections on the water, and the lovely soft sunset colours complement the iridescent scales of the subject so wonderfully. Very well done! 😊 🩶🩶

He does deserve a hug. Maybe you can turn it into a video where he lowers his head so they can hug him

I am happy with the prompt. I just want to give the dragon a hug.
