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

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?

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

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.

Thanks Diane- praise indeed
John

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

Excellent image, John. Congratulations.
