Sand Ripples Close-Up Texture Study

[sand ripples] photographed as a close-up texture study that fills the vertical frame, occupying nearly the entire image with minimal negative space and repeating curving bands that run diagonally from lower-left to upper-right. [curving bands] alternate between [muted teal accents] and [soft off-white] across the surface, and the background pattern fills the upper two-thirds with gentle recurrence and little empty area. The scene is rendered in a macro-photography style with shallow depth of field so the foreground ridge is crisp while the midground and background fall softly out of focus. Soft, diffused light from the top-left sculpts the shallow valleys with gentle shadows and subtle highlights to emphasize form without harsh contrast. Surface detail shows [fine granular texture] with visible individual grain suggestion and an overall matte feel that reads as tactile rather than glossy. Keep composition centered horizontally with generous vertical rhythm and tight framing to preserve the abstract pattern quality.
