Sunlit Macro: Prickly Pear Pads Close-Up

A hyper-detailed macro photograph of a prickly pear cactus (Opuntia) showing textured, segmented pads under bright desert sunlight. Ultra-high resolution close-up of the pads' rough surface, warty areoles, and clusters of short yellow spines. Long central spines cast thin shadows. Lens flare and sun glare emphasize contrast and micro-textures. Shallow depth of field with the foreground pad in razor sharp focus and the background desert bokeh. Colors are vibrant emerald green pads with subtle bluish-green tint, golden sunlight, warm highlights and crisp shadows. Include tiny glochids and subtle water droplets on the pad surface for extra texture. A tight crop focusing on pad edges and spine patterns, with a bright sunlit desert background.
