    Hey Mark,
    Don't forget to post those specs as many like Joshi learn from them! The stacking looks VG and I like the sharpness and BG as well. I have debated a crop of either off the top or bottom....by scrolling with the browser, I would take offf the OOF on the bottom....leaving about and inch of BG green on the LRC and about the same below the beetle. This works for me best as the sharpness you achieved even becomes more pronounced. A very nice job all around!

    Hey Mark,
    You only need to post stuff like Camera, lens, SS, f-stop, flash if used, and ISO.......this works too but you may want to cut it down.

    I like it better.....although perhaps a hair more on the bottom. Do you feel it is stronger?

    I just read thru all the previous posts. Maybe just a sliver more on the bottom edge and do you have just a bit for the right edge? Love how the stacked effect turned out plus the 2 outreaching legs! The greens are gorgeous.

    Hi Mark. You must have had a very cooperative beetle to sit still for 30 shots! There must not have been even a breath of wind. Cool colors, an interesting pose, and very nice extended sharpness. I like your first repost - the second one has lost some of the color intensity. Unless I am reading this wrong, I think Roman and Nancy are suggesting just a bit more room on the bottom (of your repost) rather than less. You might want to consider some nr on the background to really smooth out the "texture" I'm seeing there - this would be the icing on the cake for this very nice image!

    stacking 30 images Really? wow thats pretty cool. It made for perfect detail and dof. As far as the crop I prefer the original post but cropping off the oof bottom only.
