A majestic autumn mountain range towers over a crystal-clear lake, capturing the splendor of autumn in deep reds, oranges, and hints of snowy peaks. The scene merges Hudson River School-inspired grandeur with photorealistic detail, creating a serene and expansive landscape. Trees in fiery autumn colors line the lake’s edge, their vivid reflections mirrored perfectly on the lake's glassy surface. Taken at golden hour, the warm light bathes the mountains and trees, enhancing color contrasts and depth. Camera settings feature a narrow aperture for sharpness across the entire frame, capturing the lake, mountains, and trees with intricate clarity. Photoshop effects include HDR to bring out detailed textures in the mountain ridges and foliage, gradient overlays for enhancing golden hour warmth, and selective sharpening to refine the reflections, creating a masterpiece of nature’s tranquility.
