Aerial forest canopy S-curve road

Aerial canopy mosaics reveal a winding road through mixed hardwoods in a contemplative traveling mood. Crown colors patchwork from chartreuse to copper and deep wine, road ribbon in slate gray provides clean negative space and directional flow. Depth reads from crisp canopy texture at center to slight edge softness for natural vignette; focus sits on the S-curve segment to retain legible tree shapes. Light is cool overcast for even color and minimal glare; grading balances warm foliage with cool asphalt for contrast. Environment is remote forest with no vehicles or signage for versatility. Camera is true top-down with a wide field of view, centered S-curve composition leaving safe margins for headers. Style is aerial landscape photography with modern editorial tonality.
