anemone

[Ron Conlon]

A stack of shots in a lightbox of an anemone, printed background, some dirt particles removed from petals. The stack allowed me to get all the parts in focus and go for a comp where the flower is tilted back from the viewer, giving a bit of depth to the flower center.

16 images, manually focused from front to back, all f9 1/200 200mm D5100, tripod, remote flash, Helicon Remote to tether, stacked with Zerene.

Another gem I just love the gentle colours - excellent detail, I haven't noticed any "faults" often encountered with stacking.

Wonderful choice of BG color, to echo the flower's center. Excellent stack. I like the amount of detail and contrast in the center in this one. I find myself looking for just a little more structure in the white petals, but I remember you said in a previous post that you were leaning toward the lower contrast look.

You nailed another one, Ron! Excellent overall sharpness and lighting!
