How did you take/mod this photo?
Hey Jojo,

Not a lot of modification. I used lightroom increased the background blur, brightened up the fish and removed the specs on the glass using the erase tool.

Sony with a Sigma 105 macro lens, F-2.8 ISO:500 1/125 shutter

Please feel free to DM me if you have any follow up questions about it

Blasto, Blasto, Blasto. This pic I actually took with my wife's phone on Pro mode. It was from a Motorola Moto g stylus phone. Aperture was 1.7. shutter speed was 60. ISO was 488.
