Very well stacked, Eirini, and beautifully presented on the graded background. I like the composition very much - the simple slicing of the branch works well.

Bravo to you for trying focus stacking; I haven't made that journey yet myself but want to in the future sometime. . . Your stacking has given you good focus throughout the image but still keeping the BG blurred. I like your comp for this both in what parts you chose to photograph and also how it is displayed in its layout.

Great job showing off a complicated flower. I really like your comp also. The stacking looks good, but it's hard to be sure because many stacking artifacts only show up at larger image sizes, as you either know or will soon find out. :smile:

Great job with this stack. Not seen this flower before and so its a treat. The left bloom seems to be missing a stamen? The bg is just fine.

Eirini: I rarely stack so I'm not the best critic but this looks pretty good to me. A subject I'm not familiar with so this is a treat. Very nice work.>=))>
