Sometimes, to look natural, we create a scene. Found a mushroom, set it up on a log, added some dirt and leaves. Four lights, a camera on a tripod, and 60 photos stacked into one — a technique called focus stacking, where the camera works front to back in small increments until everything you want sharp actually is. Been shooting with older gear lately. Nice to remind myself where the current technology can take me.

Beautiful result of all your knowledge and your expert eye.
Thanks for sharing the background information which only adds to the enjoyment of the photo.
And here I was thinking only Mother Nature and G-d gave us this beautiful picture when it fact it was Mother Nature, G-d and now Tim Rice, … really another G-d in my mind….. 🙂
