Ancient gnarled tree with twisted trunk frames misty forest path

Digital rendering depicts anatomically realistic tree bark texture with pronounced grain patterns and weathered surface detail. Composition uses upward camera angle framing twisted trunk structure against layered atmospheric mist and soft directional lighting. Foliage rendered with green-yellow translucent leaves filtered through soft diffused illumination. Middle-ground haze suggests volumetric atmospheric depth with reduced contrast and muted color saturation. Ground plane shows earthy surface with scattered vegetation and dappled light penetration creating systematic shadow patterns indicative of technical 3D rendering methodology.
