AI Model: flux-krea-dev

Prompt: STYLE: "In style of John James Audubon + Maria Sibylla Merian + Raymond Harris-Ching, where Audubon’s lifelike bird postures and naturalistic wetlands should ground the scene in historical authenticity, Merian’s delicate environmental detailing should enrich the foliage and habitat, and Harris-Ching’s subtle realism should enhance feather texture and depth. The fusion should manifest as a highly detailed natural history illustration with classical composition and refined surface realism" SUBJECT: "A tricolored heron mid-step on a log, with elegant plumage in shades of slate blue and gray, long beak pointed forward, textured feathers rendered in fine detail" SETTING: "Scene set in a marshland during daylight, with tall reeds, calm water, distant forested horizon, and a second bird resting among the grasses, evoking serene ecological balance"
