Autumn forest with stream and golden light rays through canopy

Digital painting employing volumetric light rays through dense forest canopy. Bilateral composition with red-orange autumn foliage concentrated in upper left and right quadrants. Central stream reflects directional light. Rendered with atmospheric perspective: warm foreground tones transition to cooler mid-tones. Moss-covered rocks and fallen leaves populate ground plane. Light diffusion creates particulate effects. Chromatic temperature shift from golden-yellow zenith to blue-green shadowed areas demonstrates advanced color grading methodology.
