Forest Path in Autumn Morning

Forest path winding through maple and oak woodlands, carpeted in golden and amber leaves, seen as a vertical poster or wallpaper with soft morning mist rolling through the scene and leading lines pulling the viewer inward. A tactile carpet of crisp and curled leaves with varied edge wear, damp veins catching slight sheen, scattered leaf piles of medium density, rough ridged bark on trunks with fine fissures, compacted soil path with faint pebble texture and occasional moss patches. Shallow depth of field with the near-foreground leaves and first meter of path tack-sharp, mid-path gently receding into soft focus, distant canopy and mist rendered with smooth blur while preserving natural texture and silhouette clarity. Warm golden-hour light filtering obliquely through the canopy, broad soft shafts and subtle backlight riming leaf edges, gentle fill from ambient sky to reduce contrast, warm gold as dominant hue on foliage, amber as mid-canopy accent, burnt orange in foreground leaves and soft browns for trunks and path. Quiet woodland clearing atmosphere with light mist and clear spatial depth cues from overlapping trunks and receding path, include one weathered wooden bench and one low mossy log as props that reinforce a contemplative pause without clutter. Slightly low eye-level vantage to emphasize leading lines, vertical framing with the path occupying about 70% of the frame and slightly off-center composition, converging lines guiding the eye into the depth, horizon low and stable creating tall-canopy emphasis. High-resolution autumn photography aesthetic with filmic midtone micro-contrast, preserved highlight detail and clean shadow character, natural grain option for texture, crisp edge rendering on in-focus elements and subtle bloom on distant light shafts. No visible text required; avoid people, animals, man-made signage, saturated color clipping, and hard artificial light sources.
