Create a surreal luxury editorial in a forest where every tree trunk is naturally covered in extremely thin sheets of weathered gold leaf, while the leaves remain deep green and completely natural.

The attached person stands on a narrow stone path wearing a refined black tailored outfit with a long cream coat. Their posture is relaxed, face turned clearly toward the camera with a subtle confident expression.

Use a 70mm lens at f/2.8 during late afternoon. Warm sunlight filters through the canopy, causing tiny reflections from the gold-covered trunks. Keep the person's skin illuminated primarily by soft natural sky fill rather than gold-colored light.

Preserve individual leaves, realistic bark contours beneath the gold, imperfect gold leaf application, small tears and oxidation, natural skin texture, hair detail and believable shadows.

The forest should feel like a real botanical environment transformed by an extraordinary contemporary artist. No fantasy glow. No excessive metallic shine. Photographic, luxurious, dreamlike.
