Autumn Light over a Traditional Chinese Bridge in Nanjing

Hyperrealistic, cinematic photograph of a traditional Chinese stone arch bridge with white balustrades and dark, weathered stone spanning a calm river along the Qinhuai/Nanjing corridor. Autumn foliage explodes along the banks with crimson maples, amber ginkgo, and golden leaves draping over the water; their reflections shimmer in the glassy surface. Soft golden-hour light bathes the scene, a light mist lingering in the distance, and the hazy silhouette of Purple Mountain visible beyond. Small pavilion-style details at the bridge ends, willows dipping into the river, scattered leaves floating downstream. The shot is taken at water level with a slight diagonal perspective, producing crisp textures, rich colors, and tranquil mood reminiscent of Jiangnan scenery.
