A majestic dragon stands poised on a rocky outcrop, gazing thoughtfully across the horizon with eyes shimmering with radiant intelligence. His scales, a vivid tapestry of gold intricately intertwined with flecks of shimmering silver, catch the ambient light with a mesmerizing allure. The piercing blue eyes, profound and clear, are set beneath the delicate frills adorning his head and chin, which flutter softly in the breeze. Bathed in volumetric lighting that accentuates every detail, his figure displays hyper-realistic intricacies from the sharpness of his meticulously detailed claws to the texture of his elegantly rippled body and perfectly sculpted scales. Captured in 8k resolution with HDR precision, the scene elevates every contour of his form, while the detailed lighting and sharp focus highlight his extraordinary beauty in a photorealistic portrayal. The portrait's depth of field enhances this ethereal elegance, with all the ultra-realistic details harmonizing effortlessly to create an otherworldly, majestic presence. Despite his rough exterior interpreted by some as ungainly, with slightly asymmetrical patterns that give his beauty a unique character, his essence remains that of noble grace and profound charisma.
