Autumn Golden Reeds by the Tranquil River

A serene autumn riverside scene with tall golden reeds swaying in a gentle breeze along a calm, glassy river. Warm late afternoon light bathes the reeds in amber and gold, highlighting their textures. The water reflects the reeds and a pale blue sky with wispy clouds, bordered by a distant tree line in muted fall colors. Fallen leaves in russet and ochre litter the soft riverbank. The scene has depth with sharp foreground reeds, a tranquil middle ground of water, and a softly blurred forest edge in the distance. The mood is peaceful and timeless, suitable for a nature meditation. Style is photorealistic with painterly warmth, high detail, 8k resolution, natural textures of reeds, water, and leaves. Optional slight mist on the horizon for depth. Aspect ratio 3:2.
