Master Mixologist's Ice Artistry

A cinematic close-up focusing on the hands of a master mixologist expertly carving a crystal clear block of ice into a perfect sphere. The heavy steel ice pick chips away with rhythmic precision, sending diamond-like shards flying through the air. The scene is set on a dark mahogany bar counter with a wet texture. The lighting is moody and high-contrast, emphasizing the transparency of the ice and the glint of the metal tool. Hyper-realistic, 8k resolution.
