Macro Close-Up: Intricate Wood Grain Lichtspiel

Hyper-realistic macro close-up of textured wood grain, revealing microscopic grooves, growth rings, pores, and knots. An intricate lichtspiel (play of light) effect dances across the surface, with raking side lighting that creates sharp highlights and deep shadows to accentuate the grain's topography. Warm brown palette—amber, honey, and natural wood tones—with subtle variation and authentic imperfections. The shot should feel tactile and three-dimensional with high-contrast, shallow depth of field and cinematic detail; imagined as a studio macro photograph using a high-end macro lens, at a wide aperture for creamy bokeh, low ISO, and 8K-level realism. Optional patterns like burl, cathedral grain, and figure patterns add complexity.
