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.

To produce those nice stars, you need a very small aperture, and to get that nice blurry background, you need a larger aperture. So, I guess those stars were added later.
WOAH!!!!! This is the coolest image ever! Even if there was a spray bottle, I don’t care. And sorry, everyone uses PS so we are not allowed to complain about that. Amazing photo!
