I love the stained glass look of these flowers when backlit. Even at f/32 there's not much dof. Didn't know anything about focus stacking at the time.

I love it, Michael. I have some shots of these from planting them one year - but there was so much dust and pollen on the petals that I struggled to get a clean shot.

This is really nice.

Michael, I think that there are enough details where they are needed. I love transparences and colors.

Thanks Nathan and Gigi. Nathan you're right about the dirt and pollen. I spent a couple hours cloning out stuff.

Hi Michael, the Lightning, resulting colours and composition are great - the flow from focus to OOF works here and doesn't detract at all - worth the effort with the cloning ;-) ...

Very nice, Michael, but I personally much prefer PT #2.

Very pretty! If I hadn't seen #2 first this would get my vote, but #2 is my preference. cool

I really like your next post much better Michael. The colors and the lighting here are really nice, just wish for a bit more light in the center.
