Sunlit forest stream bordered by mature deciduous trees

Photorealistic landscape depicting a narrow watercourse flowing through established woodland. The composition employs volumetric lighting techniques where diffuse sunlight penetrates the canopy at approximately 45-60 degrees, creating distinct light rays visible through the atmospheric medium. Water surface reflects blue-green coloration with specular highlights. Dense foliage demonstrates varied green saturation across shadowed and illuminated sections. The streambed shows sandy substrate with edge vegetation. Depth of field concentrates sharpness on mid-ground elements while peripheral areas soften gradually. Tonal range spans from deep shadows in trunk shadows to bright highlights at light penetration points.
