PS These plants are a pain - they always seem to hang funny !

The flowers are god but there are numerous dust bunnies e.g. centre bottom and ghostly leaves in the background e.g. just under half way on the RHS. There appears to be evidence of cloning centre bottom and a ghost of a leaf under the lowest flower. For me the fine hairs are over sharpened. Despite that it is an appealing image.
John I think you would be starting off from a much more level playing field if you captured raw images without all the inherent disadvantages of in camera processing, you could easily batch convert to jpeg or better still TIFF, then stack and then sharpen accordingly using your preferred method at an appropriate setting/value. In my view you would get much better consistency.

Very well spotted. I, ll get around to sorting the mistakes when I,ve finished a few more flowers whilst the weather holds.

Jon spotted some nits but a lovely image with the repairs made! I don't know the flowers but get the feeling there is a yellow cast worth looking at.

[John Robinson]

Hi Diane. Thanks . The flowers are that colour and really gaudy in fact. Some say too much so !

Latest image is much better, I like the colours.
There is still evidence of cloning on the RHS - a little blotchy but this is minor - very nice image.
