Cascading waterfall in dense jungle with heavenly light rays

Digital painting employing volumetric lighting and atmospheric depth to render tiered waterfalls within tropical forest environment. Rendered techniques include god rays penetrating dense canopy, gradient color transitions from cool blues to verdant greens, layered foliage recession, water reflectivity modulation, mist particle systems at cascade base. Composition utilizes central symmetry with bilateral tree structures, horizontal water plane establishing spatial depth, luminous sky portal creating focal point. Technical attributes: high dynamic range color grading, subsurface scattering simulation on vegetation, specular highlights on flowing water, ambient occlusion in shadow areas.
