    Nice work, Jon. Beautiful, simple composition, nice detail and soft colors. Thank you for sharing.

    Thanks Jo & Gabriela, getting the detail in the moth is pretty easy with stacking, "finishing off and cleaning up the image" is the tricky part. If you look long enough these images begin to play ticks on your eyes and you see ghosting - sometimes even when you think it has been removed.

    The stacking worked very well here. Yes, the colors go great with one another.
