Who the fuck’s hair looks like that? Who the fuck’s sand looks like that?

Somebody cherry picked two exquisite specimens for this shot. Kudos to the photographer.

That's exactly what he did. The photographer is Ethan Beckler. It is a sand garnet on a hair from his daughter's head.

Could’ve used oil or some other chemical like a varnish to smooth the hair.

I have no lens capable of such a good macro shot.
