Create a highly detailed, ultra-realistic advertising poster for a limited-edition 0.5-liter brown beer bottle named "Nimm2 Beer." The bottle features an intricate, dark antique copper-colored, Baroque-inspired 3D design, with raised, swirling patterns and ornamental flourishes that create a richly textured, embossed appearance. The bottle is captured in a professional product photography setup, rendered in 8K resolution with hyper-detailed textures and micro-imperfections (e.g., slight scratches or uneven embossing) to enhance realism. Sharp highlights and deep shadows emphasize the 3D details, with a focus on the tactile quality of the embossed surface. Due to high humidity, visible drops of condensation form on the beer bottle, suggesting freshness and coolness. These water droplets are realistically rendered with varying sizes and distributions, mimicking natural condensation patterns. The condensation is subtle yet noticeable, enhancing the bottle's texture without obscuring the intricate design or label. The lighting interacts with the condensation, creating reflective highlights on the droplets that add depth and realism to the scene. The bottle's label is high-quality and artistically sophisticated, designed in white, blue, and gold. The name "Nimm2" is prominently printed in large, bold lettering on the label, accompanied by details indicating it is a Special Edition for 2025. The golden crown cap gleams under the light, with reflective highlights accentuating its glossy, metallic texture. The bottle is positioned upright, slightly tilted to showcase the intricate design, label details, and condensation, captured in a close-up perspective from a slight angle to enhance depth and focus. The background features a muted, earthy gradient transitioning from darker to lighter tones, incorporating subtle natural elements such as soil, tree bark, and forest moss to create an immersive, organic atmosphere. To maintain focus on the bottle, these elements are blended softly into the gradient, avoiding overpowering the composition. The gradient is slightly cooler or more neutral to ensure the bottle's warm brown and gold hues, along with the condensation, stand out. This background adds depth while keeping the bottle as the unambiguous focal point. The lighting is soft white daylight, streaming from above or the side, creating strong contrasts that highlight the raised patterns on the bottle and the reflective condensation droplets. A subtle spotlight effect on the bottle enhances its prominence and creates a dramatic interplay of light and shadow. Dark areas of the image have a cool, bluish tone, while bright areas exhibit a warm, golden hue, enhancing the overall refinement of the scene. The image style blends photorealism with artistic representation, presenting the bottle as a work of art. The mood is cinematic and dramatic, emphasizing the exclusivity and premium quality of the special-edition beer. The composition feels sophisticated and inviting, with a clear narrative of craftsmanship and luxury.

Ultra-photorealistic cinematic film still of Alicia Vikander reimagined as the Grim Reaper, blending her natural beauty with an aura of haunting power and timeless authority. Her face is ethereal and striking, her sharp cheekbones and soft jawline accentuated by the cold, spectral glow of the surrounding light. Her skin is an ashen, porcelain hue, smooth yet unnervingly flawless, with faint, silvery veins visible just beneath the surface. Her deep brown eyes glow faintly with an otherworldly silver light, exuding both wisdom and an unrelenting inevitability. Her lips, slightly parted, are a dark, muted plum, adding to her haunting yet elegant appearance. Her hair is raven black, cascading in long, flowing waves that shimmer faintly as if touched by a supernatural breeze. Wisps of silvery mist weave through the strands, catching the dim light and creating an almost halo-like effect. Around her head hovers a faint, incorporeal crown of glowing runes, shifting and flickering like dying embers, signifying her dominion over life and death. She is dressed in an avant-garde interpretation of the Reaper’s cloak: a sleek, black, floor-length robe with intricate textures resembling flowing smoke and shadows. The fabric seems almost alive, shifting subtly as though it’s a part of the darkness itself. The edges of the cloak are frayed and dissolve into ethereal mist, giving her an otherworldly, intangible quality. Beneath the robe, glimpses of silvery armor etched with ancient, cryptic symbols are visible, hinting at her role as a celestial enforcer. Her hood is drawn back, revealing her face, but the shadows of the hood frame her features in a dramatic, gothic contrast. In her right hand, she wields a scythe unlike any other: its massive blade is forged from a gleaming black metal that reflects faint, ghostly images of souls. The staff is carved from a dark, polished wood entwined with glowing silver runes that pulse faintly, as though alive. Her left hand hovers slightly, trailing a faint mist of spectral energy that curls and dissipates into the surrounding air. The background is a surreal, otherworldly landscape: a vast, barren expanse shrouded in mist, with jagged, obsidian-like rock formations rising into the sky. The horizon glows faintly with an eerie, greenish-blue light, as if it’s the border between the world of the living and the dead. Shadowy silhouettes of wandering souls drift aimlessly in the distance, their faint whispers almost audible in the stillness. Above, the sky is a chaotic swirl of dark clouds, pierced by occasional streaks of ethereal light that illuminate the scene in fleeting bursts. The lighting is dramatic, with cold, pale blue and green tones dominating the scene, casting Alicia’s figure in sharp relief. The glowing runes on her armor and scythe cast subtle, shifting light patterns on her robes and the ground. Her face is illuminated by a soft, ghostly glow, emphasizing her beauty while adding an unnerving edge to her expression. Shadows play dynamically across her figure, enhancing the ethereal, otherworldly atmosphere. Her expression is calm and resolute, with a faint, enigmatic smile that suggests she understands the inevitability of her role. Her eyes convey both compassion and an uncompromising sense of duty, embodying the dual nature of the Grim Reaper as both a harbinger of death and a guide for lost souls. There’s a sense of timeless authority in her posture, as though she has walked the boundary between life and death for eternity. This ultra-photorealistic image is indistinguishable from a professional cinematic film still, with every detail—from the textures of her cloak and scythe to the eerie, atmospheric backdrop—rendered in breathtaking precision. The mood is chilling, majestic, and steeped in gothic gravitas.
