Autumn forest valley with mountain vista and golden sunlight

Digital painting utilizing layered depth composition with foreground fire-toned deciduous trees framing middle-ground coniferous forest. Snow-capped mountain peak positioned center background against cumulus cloud formations. Color temperature shifts from warm orange-gold foliage through yellow understorey to cool blue-gray distant peaks. Atmospheric perspective achieved through progressive desaturation and value reduction. Volumetric lighting creates golden path through valley floor with defined shadow patterns on understory vegetation.
