Awesome shot!!! Is that natural or did you do any post work on it?
Cristóbal
Debbie Sickler
Thanks Cristobal! This is a blade of grass that had some water droplets on it. I placed the cherry blossoms directly beyond the grass, positioning them so I could see them the best when looking through the water. It’s done with one photo, although I know others who do focus stacking with multiple shots combined. I did however blur the background to get rid of distractions and did the typical sharpening, color, etc. adjustments. Thanks for all the comments and for adding this one to your favorites!

seoulma
I’ve not been able to capture such gorgeous shots as this..you’ve really got the technique down to perfection. May i ask what lens and settings you use? this is truly fantastic!
Debbie Sickler replied
Thank you so much seoulma! I used my Canon 100mm macro lens, but it’s been so long, I’m not sure what my exact settings were. I do know that I typically set the camera on manual exposure and then set it to really under expose the shot. It helps to get the shutter speed fast enough for my shaky hands and helps me to not blow out the highlights. It’s really a lot of trial and error. Some times I get lucky! Thanks again.
