Macro close-up of a vibrant red dahlia in bloom

Ultra-detailed macro close-up of a vibrant red dahlia in full bloom. Capture the intricate spiraling layers of layered petals with delicate veining and color gradients from deep crimson at the bases to bright scarlet at the tips. Photographed with a macro lens at 1:1 magnification, f/2.8, low ISO, to achieve a very shallow depth of field and creamy background bokeh. Lighting should be diffused natural light or soft studio lighting to highlight the satin-like texture of each petal and create subtle, glistening highlights along the edges. Composition slightly above center, petals radiating outward with razor-sharp focus on the foreground where the texture is most detailed, while the background fades into smooth blur. Aim for vibrant, lifelike color accuracy, rich saturation, and a fresh, botanical mood.
