mimicking

Made for/inspired by a "one-word prompt + prompt magic" challenge.

The expanded prompt is:

A surrealist painting of a bird mimicking a human, perched on a branch in a dreamlike forest. The bird has feathers that blend into wisps of smoke, and its reflection in a nearby puddle shows a human face. Vibrant, ethereal lighting filters through the canopy, casting dappled shadows. Style inspired by the dreamlike automatism of Salvador Dalí and the visionary landscapes of Remedios Varo, with a touch of Max Ernst's frottage textures. Vivid colors and dynamic lighting create a sense of mystery and illusion.
