Desert Bloom: A 3D Rendered Flower in Sand

Ultra-photorealistic 3D render of a single vibrant flower standing in a sunlit desert. Close-up macro shot with a shallow depth of field, saturated crimson petals with a bright yellow center, subtly translucent and showing subsurface scattering. A slender green stem anchors the blossom in loose, wind-swept sand. The desert background features rolling dunes with fine grains, wind-carved ripples, and distant heat haze under a clear blue sky. Lighting is warm golden-hour, with long shadows and rim light along petal edges, specular highlights on the sand. Use physically-based rendering with global illumination, soft bounced light, realistic sand texture, micro granularity, subtle caustics on petals, and a slight camera angle from below for a heroic feel.
