A scenic autumn river flows through a forest bathed in golden sunlight, with vibrant shades of orange, red, and yellow leaves reflecting on the calm water. The style merges impressionistic realism with soft HDR detailing, capturing both rich textures and soft lighting. Tall trees line the riverbanks, their branches creating a natural arch over the water. Fallen leaves float on the river’s surface, adding depth and color contrast. Soft, warm sunlight filters through the canopy, casting dappled patterns on the riverbank. Camera settings simulate a medium aperture to keep the trees and reflections sharply in focus, while the background softens slightly. Photoshop effects include HDR to enhance leaf and bark textures, gradient mapping to emphasize the warm autumn tones, and a gentle vignette to draw attention to the river, creating a vibrant, harmonious scene.
