Really eye catching image I lkkethe exposure and colours... and I like the background!
Lovely details and flow because of all the curls. You may want to brighten up the UR flowers, they seem to have had some shadow during the flash.
Although automated, 60 images is still a lot. Wouldn't it be possible to get this in a single shot in these controlled situations?
Thanks, Jerry. Good point about the upper right, the flash was to the lower left.
While this one could have been mostly or all in focus at about f16, I like the hyper-sharpness that comes from the stacking, particularly for the fliaments. And it is mostly only requires waiting on my part--waiting for the acquisition, waiting for the stacking software.
Hi Ron, I can see your point about that sharpness. I bet it is even more prominent in the original image!
Stunning! I love the hyper-real look!
The bit of light falloff is easily brought up with Curves with a soft-edged mask. Easy to hold the darkest tones down while you bring up the lighter ones.
Another exquisite image Ron! The suggestions above about brightness would be a minor, and easy, tweak to this terrific photo!
Only 60? Mazel tov on doing on the work and creating such an intricately beautiful image.
