How did I get that picture? It was not hard at all.

I spotted the eucalyptus branches and then I saw this little sprig standing up. It was ready-made to be the center of my photo. So I zoomed in a bit, keeping the sprig centered in my viewfinder, adjusted the exposure and took the photo. Easy.

I did a little post-processing to make it clearer and sharper but those moves were pretty easy as well.

Hope this answers your question!
