Nice job on the stack, Graham-I don't see any anomalies. I like hte cluster of blooms and the angle you got on them.

Seems to be a good stack. Strong detail and good focus. One of the things that is hard to do in stacking floral photographs is to miss some focus areas in the "sandwich". The most obvious (and you have to look close to find it) is on the uppermost flower. Some of the nearer stamens are slightly out of focus and some of the farthest are in focus. My take on doing these is a bit more redundancy helps; i.e., take 3 shots instead of two, but space them more closely. There is no foolproof solution, really. The more images you take, the more shadow and intersection artifacts build up. So the fix needs a fix, and on it goes. Editing is very necessary in focus stacking, also straining your eyeballs!
Good job!

Phil have done the critique surely right and helpfull. As a whole I like the image for the composition and the interesting background.

This is an interesting study, Graham. I like the comp, but the stamen feel almost a bit too sharp and prominent for me. I don't know if that makes sense or not.

Very pretty and delicate flower. Good detail and the flowers pop out from the background nicely. Fine image.
