Macro Wood Grain: Intricate Lichtspiel

An ultra-detailed macro close-up of textured wood grain, capturing every fiber, ridge, ring, and knot. Hyperreal, photorealistic, with extreme clarity of micro-textures, pores, and subtle resin lines. Color palette of warm natural tones: honey, amber, chestnut, and espresso highlights. The lichtspiel effect is central: dramatic side lighting that carves long shadows across the grain, with bright highlights along raised ridges, delicate glints on varnished surfaces, and refracted specks of light dancing across the wood. Shallow depth of field isolates a sharp strip of texture in the foreground while the background dissolves into soft bokeh. Composition emphasizes diagonal grain lines for a tactile, almost 3D feel, inviting the viewer to feel the texture. Optional but present: slight gloss and micro-scratches, natural imperfections like tiny knots, growth rings, and pores.
