Daylily

A stack of six shots each focused on one of the anthers. This looks much better (to me) artistically than a formal stack with everything in focus (which I have done using 50 some shots).

Really well done, Ram. The anthers are beautifully rendered against the lily petals. :toast:

Great color Ram. I really like that stack idea - one shot for each anther. We thought out and executed.

Well done Ram,

The stack looks perfect to me, Ram. The anthers are sharp yet have a soft feel somehow, I guess because of the excellent lighting. First class image !!

The sharp focus on the anthers works very well here, Ram. I'm also thoroughly enjoying the color combo and how well matched the anthers and the out petals are. This is lovely and gentle.
