Found this in my archives and have reworked it. Way back I posted a stacked image of this flower centre but I think I now prefer the softness of this one.

Canon 400D, 100mm Macro lens, 6 secs @ f29, natural light indoors

Ian: Actually looks pretty sharp to me. I like the square crop and the colors especially. Well done.>=))>

Now I have something to write home about. The center's the star of course but the whites in this are just superb. Exceptionally well done for my tastes Ian.

I don't see the softness you are taking about at this size. This is exceptional! I love the subtle white lines radiating away from the center. Beautiful!

Ian:
Fabulous details and DOF. I am tending to use small aperture over stacking more because I like the little bit of diffraction softness (and also because I am getting a little lazy in PP).

One of these days, I'm coming to your place and spend several hours studying large prints of your work! Hope you don't mind? :smile:
Amazing detail.

There is a splendid vortex whirling in the eye of the Anemone. Ian, I love the petals: not sharp nor soft.
Take care.
