Forest stream beneath ancient tree with filtered light

Shallow forest stream flowing over rocks beneath gnarled tree trunk, shot from low angle with selective focus creating bokeh background. Cool green color palette. Shallow depth of field isolates foreground stream and rocks. Atmospheric haze or mist visible through canopy. Lichen-covered branches frame composition. Photographic technique employs tilt-shift effect or macro lens positioning to emphasize foreground clarity against blurred background elements. Dappled light filtering through foliage illuminates moss and water surfaces. Tonal range compressed toward midtones with muted saturation throughout scene.
