Misty Forest Stream at Dawn. Luminous rays pierce dense woodland canopy.

Golden-hour sunlight penetrates thick forest canopy, illuminating a serene stream shrouded in ethereal mist. Towering conifers frame the composition with dense foliage creating silhouettes against backlighting. Cool green undertones dominate the palette while warm amber highlights strike through atmospheric haze. Water surface reflects diffused luminescence, creating mirror-like effects. Strategic lens flare and volumetric light rays establish depth and mystical atmosphere through counterpoint between shadowed foreground and brilliantly lit middle ground.
