A breathtaking, hyperrealistic image of a female elf ranger, with sharp, angular features and piercing emerald eyes, wearing intricately detailed leather armor adorned with silver accents and etched runes. The armor is form-fitting, showcasing her athletic build. She sits astride a majestic, crimson-scaled dragon, its scales shimmering with an almost iridescent quality. The dragon's wings are enormous, stretching across the canvas, and meticulously detailed, showing individual feathers and membranes. The ranger's leather saddle is equally detailed, with carefully rendered stitching and buckles. The background is a dramatic, stormy sky, with dark, swirling clouds illuminated by flashes of lightning, which cast dramatic shadows across the ranger and dragon. The colors are rich and saturated, with a strong contrast between the fiery reds of the dragon and the deep blues and purples of the storm. The overall composition emphasizes the dynamic motion, with the dragon soaring through the air at a slight angle, wind ruffling the ranger's long, auburn hair. The style is hyperrealistic, aiming for the photorealism level of detail, including subtle texture variations in the leather, the individual scales of the dragon, and even the subtle moisture in the ranger's eyes. The scene is lit by a combination of ambient lighting from the storm and a dramatic backlight from the lightning, giving a three-dimensional quality to the image.
