White dead nettel
What is a weed but a flower i disguise ! I am doinga set of wild flowers for a booklet. They wanted ID type pics so hence all a similar style.

Nice choice of background for a beautiful weed. I assume you put two together for the photo and it works well here. For ID purposes for the booklet, the habit might be better displayed if only one is shown.

Nice and clean John.
I can echo Ron's point about the habitat if only one image is used.
Very nicely put together as is!

The edges on some of the flowers look a little refractile to me but having said that it is a good image for ID purposes.
At least you are getting your stacks to work, I have just spent half a day taking 500 plus images and so far I cannot get a sharp stacked image out of CZM or Photoshop!

Another gorgeous shot!! The abstract-looking BG is appealing. I might soften a horizontal edge to a white cloud (?) near the LL.

Is this the same stuff it took me weeks to learn to avoid brushing against in Germany? It's stinging power makes our cholla cactus look wimpy.

Hi John,

Nice image / specimen with an appealing background even though the horizontal line above your name should be blurred or cloned. Nice tones.
