    Nice macro work, but I feel the blemishes on the leaf detract.

    Great stacking as usual. I like the angle. Agree with Steve on blemishes, but it is what it is in nature.

    Steve totally disagree! It would look staged if everything was perfect, I like a few imperfections.

    Jon, very rough and under 5 mins, but I think it balances your ethics hopefully, but gives/provides more focus to the subject.

    BTW, absolute diddily squat this morning after yesterday’s encounter, just back, hotting up now!!!

    Nice to see the insect in focus and everything else fall off. Stacking looks great. Nice detail as well.
