Very nice stacking work! Are most of your CZM stacks outdoors? This looks pretty good as is. You might consider cloning out the debris on the lower leftmost cluster of leaflets. cool

As to if I do them outdoors, -it all depends on several factors. First of all we rarely get a wind or breezeless day. Other times its not easy to trample about on flowerbeds or carry loads of gear about.
So the answer is - a bit of both probably 50?50.
The fine whispy things definately indoors. If there is no alternative its a conventional one shot job.

Beautiful image John. The contrasting colors are splendid painted on the blackboard.

Fascinating specimen. The colors are great and I like all the details here.

Hi John

One of my favorite flowers to photograph you captured excellent detail and color in this fine presentation

Indeed, great dof and beautiful colour combination. Would it be possible to pull out some more detail form the petals? Or am I asking for too much?

Thanks all
Igor I tried but it didn,t work very well as there is no real detail in the petals- they are virtually plain/smooth coloured.
They just ended up darker I think. had a go anyway
Cheers

Hi John, Thanks very much for your reply and trying my suggestion. If the petals are smooth as you say then there are no details to pull out (I have never seen this species in reality). Still interesting to see this somewhat darker rendition. Anyway, I like the image, well seen and well done.
