A Phoenix Staring in Wonder at Its Own Fiery Reflection

A regal phoenix stands before an ornate, ancient mirror, staring wide-eyed at its reflection. The surface of the mirror shimmers with golden light, reflecting the fiery bird’s flickering feathers. Confusion fills its sharp gaze as if it is seeing itself for the first time. For a striking coloring effect, blend deep reds and oranges with golden highlights in the phoenix’s plumage. The mirror frame can be decorated with intricate gold or silver patterns, adding an antique feel. A darker background with warm shadows will contrast beautifully with the brightness of the phoenix’s glowing form.
