At the top of the Photorealistic picture taken from a camera image, Happy birthday Shirley in elegant metallic-gold serif lettering, subtly embossed with a soft glow against the sky.

Ultra-realistic 4K UHD photograph, cute mood. Golden-hour sunlight washes over the high stone parapet of Basgiath War College; weathered granite textures, fluttering Fourth Wing banners in slate-blue and silver. Foreground: an adorable, small golden-scaled dragonling with luminous, opalescent eyes and tiny horns, a smear of frosting on its snout, offering a miniature cupcake with a single lit candle; delicate steam and candle-flame heat shimmer visible. Midground: a massive obsidian dragon, scales matte and glossy in patches, protective and gentle, wearing a worn leather flight harness with subtle celebratory ribbons tied to a buckle; warm rim light tracing every scale. Background: the grand fortress towers of Basgiath, distant snow-capped peaks and training fields, cadets in flight leathers blurred by depth of field; a soft-focus silhouette of a tall, shadow-kissed wingleader (a nod to Xaden Riorson) leaning casually against an archway, cloak edges flickering with windborne shadow. Confetti-like glints of sunlit dust motes drift through the air, adding playful sparkle without breaking realism.

Camera and lighting: full-frame DSLR look, 50mm lens, f/2.0, ISO 200, 1/500s; cinematic global illumination, accurate soft shadows, creamy background bokeh, fine film grain, true-to-life color, rich dynamic range. Lifelike textures: rough stone, stitched leather, micro-scale detail on dragon skin, glossy eyes with catchlights, delicate sponge-crumb on cupcake frosting.

Additional small text (tasteful and subtle): at the lower edge, hand-chalked on the parapet stone in a small, whimsical script: Let your birthday take wing.
