Some viewers have expressed their doubts about the authenticity of this image, assuming the overgenerous dew was produced by a spray bottle, and the unreal sparkles are a bit of retouching magic in Photoshop. Whatever might have gone behind the scenes, this is an image that you can’t look at without feeling a sense of morning freshness.
