Macro Texture of Sandhill Crane Feathers in Michigan Marsh

Photorealistic macro close-up of a single sandhill crane feather, revealing ultra-detailed texture: individual barbs, barbules, and the central rachis. Capture subtle iridescence and micro-sheen in cool slate gray and warm taupe tones. Background depicts a serene Michigan marsh at golden hour with cattails, reed grasses, a tranquil shallow pool, and faint silhouettes of pines and distant birds; soft mist hangs over the water. Use a shallow depth of field so the feather is razor-sharp while the wetland scene is pleasantly blurred. Lighting is warm backlighting along the feather edges, with dew-like highlights on barbules, evoking quiet natural beauty and the grandeur of Michigan’s wetlands. 3:2 aspect ratio.
