how is this background made?

Is there post processing involved, or what is going on? Is it just a sheet of paper placed behind the flower?

Looks like most of the shots are done with other flowers in the background, but with the bokeh from doing a close-up shot with a relatively large aperture.

Interesting that 99% of the shots are of flowers, my 500px site also has only flowers.

I'd venture wide open aperture and some post with a careful eye to the background.

This background Image is created buy Water Effect in Photoshop

I would suggest the image maker used a Macro, or close focus lens, and was very, very close to the flower and water droplet..

A shallow depth-of-field is more about the point-of-focus distance than about the lens aperture.

Shallow DOF as stated plus colored paper in the background with a light behind the paper perhaps.

macro shot and then over-worked post-processing. nothing more.
