Autumn Marsh in a Golden Forest

Photorealistic marsh nestled in an autumn forest, viewed at water level. Early morning light filters through birch and maple leaves in amber, gold, and copper. Glassy shallow water reflects the colorful canopy, with cattails and reeds along the banks. Wet mud, mossy logs, and scattered fallen leaves add rich textures. A delicate mist drifts over the marsh; distant waterfowl skim the surface. Ultra-detailed textures, natural color grading, HDR realism.
