Whispers in the Fog: Haunting Bare Forest

An enigmatic foggy forest with bare trees creating a haunting atmosphere. Skeletal trunks rise from damp moss, their branches stripped to stark silhouettes. Thick fog swirls between the trunks, muting color and sound, while a narrow leaf-strewn path snakes into the mist. A pale cold light filters through the fog, casting desaturated blue-gray highlights and deep shadows. The scene is photorealistic with cinematic lighting, in a desaturated palette of greens, grays, and icy blues; composition from a low ground-level perspective, trees framing the scene and large areas of fog suggesting unseen depths and distant silhouettes, evoking whispers and the sense that something watches from the mist.
