Enchanted forest path with towering ancient trees and golden light

Digital painting rendered with atmospheric perspective using layered tree trunks in dark charcoal tones advancing toward luminous background. Golden-yellow foliage concentrated at upper canopy creating strong value contrast against murky forest floor. Soft volumetric light rays penetrate central composition, illuminating moss-laden ground and low vegetation in lime-green hues. Path defined by darker soil running centerline through symmetrical tree placement. Translucent leaves and dappled light effects create depth through selective highlighting and color temperature shifts from cool shadows to warm illuminated areas.
