Congrats Inkedpt, makes me want some Matcha tea now!

Quick question on the post editing as I'm new to the photo challenges and trying to see what I can and can't do.

What software did you use to process the pic and was there blur/texture added or any other post-processing techniques.

Thanks!

Hi Naos!
You should try it it's fantastic.
I used a 70-200mm at f/2.8 which gives a nice blur. The entire thing was on the floor with light coming from a window behind and slightly right to the camera.
I mainly use lightroom 4, dodge/burn, desaturation, levels and vignetting.
Cheers
