    Nice image with stacking done well to keep everything sharp. Dark background helps to bring the subject up well. Like the diagonal composition.

    Nicely detailed image stacking has worked even though I would not have thought f18 was really a good idea. The lighting is pretty reasonable, I wonder if a little backlighting in addition would have been helpful?

    Any specific reason why you won’t use f/18 for stacking ?

    Do you have ideal f stop for stacking ?

    Thanks

    Nice to have the flower in the sun. The dark background makes it pop. The framing is bang on. I don't think the aperture really matters for stacking. I see images stacked from wide open to f/22.
