Very nice indeed, excellent details - possibly some of the fine hairs are a little over-sharpened but a very pleasing image.

Jon
Could be the high pass filter
Certainly picks 'em out !

Hi John,
Well done - love the fine texture in the yellows. I see what Jon means about the sharpening but still a very fine image.

I have admired the clarity of the stacked look for quite a while now and I hope to actually attempt sooner rather than later. This is lovely John. Is the soft, muted bkgd one you created to set up behind the flower?

[John Robinson]

Thanks All.
Problem with the hairs because they are really quite sharp to look at with out any enhancement.. Cant reduce it on them,without doing the whole plant.
Nancy- Yes. I have dozens of real life backgrounds photographed then printed A3. I am working on new ones all the the time. They tend to get "stale"
Cheers
John

Just gorgeous! What you do with shooting JPEG and stacking in a free program is humbling, if not humiliating....

Your artistic eye is a great help, too.

[John Robinson]

Thanks Diane- praise indeed

Lovely image, John. I like the colors of the flowers against the soft blue background. Nice work. Thank you for sharing.
