Viral Solar Eclipse Ring Proposal Photo

This amazing image has been going viral on the Internet, usually accompanied with the caption:

A man in Japan effectively used the solar eclipse to propose to his girlfriend.

Sadly — sorry to burst your bubble — it’s not an actual photograph, but a composite image created by combining three photographs with the iOS app Image Blender. Japanese website wacameapp has published a behind-the-scenes look at how the image was created.
