Rotschwänzige Meerjungfrau an Pfahl auf sturmumtosten Felsen gefesselt

A tense mythological fantasy scene set on rugged sea rocks near the shore. A red mermaid is tied upright to a tall wooden pole planted firmly into the rock, thick ropes wrapped around her arms and torso. Her crimson-red mermaid tail rests against the stone, covered in detailed fish-scale textures with dark ruby tones, subtle shine, and slightly torn fin edges from the harsh environment. A single apple is carefully placed on top of her head, balanced perfectly, creating a moment of dangerous suspense. Her expression shows controlled fear mixed with bravery, eyes looking forward, jaw tense. Her long red hair flows around her face, blown by strong sea winds and lightly damp from ocean spray. The surrounding rocks are wet and dark, waves crashing below, white foam rising into the air. The open sea stretches into the distance under a dramatic sky with moving clouds and sharp sunlight breaking through. Seabirds circle above, and mist surrounds the scene, adding intensity.
