Elegant Pink Lotus Bud: Close-Up on Soft Blue

An elegant macro close-up of a single pink lotus bud, captured with a shallow depth of field. The lotus bud is poised with its petals curling gently inward, pale pink to blush gradients and subtle vein textures. Tiny dew-like droplets cling to the petal surface. The bud sits against a soft, silky blue background that fades into a smooth gradient, creating tranquil negative space. Diffused natural light highlights the petal edges with gentle specular highlights while leaving soft shadows, yielding a serene, minimal composition that celebrates natural beauty. Render in high resolution with fine detail: petal texture, vein patterns, and watercolor-like color transitions; macro lens perspective (about 100mm), f/2.8 to f/4.
