Forest clearing with towering trees, dappled light, and atmospheric perspective

Digital illustration depicting dense forest environment with large tree trunks positioned in foreground, mid-ground vegetation rendered in gradient green tones. Central composition features strong chiaroscuro effects through light rays penetrating canopy. Background elements progressively desaturated toward vanishing point. Foliage demonstrates layered opacity variations; yellows and lime greens dominate upper regions while deeper forest floor shows muted earth tones. Small birds visible as silhouettes within light beams. Atmospheric perspective established through color temperature shifts and reduced detail saturation in background layers. Ground flora includes ferns and undergrowth rendered with simplified forms.
