90 Mar 21 Comment Thank you Beverly for your research and work on the image. I ended up taking the stick out and leaving the out of focus flowers as I believe they add a sense of dimension since they are complimentary in tone and color. I think your version would print really well as a giclee canvass photo Mar 29th

90 Mar 21 Comment Thanx Dan

You need a high shutter speed because when shooting macro even the slightest breeze is exaggerated. Focus stacking is real easy with an AF lens and using the Sony BT remote. This is a manual lens so it is a little tricky, but not really hard. Wind and changing light are the biggest hurdles. You can use PS to process, but I use Zerene as it makes masking easier. If you give it a try and have a question let me know		 Mar 3rd
90 Mar 21 Comment I like the highlight on the birds head. Also, I find odd numbers (5 stakes) add to compositions unless you are trying to frame the subject IMO. Nicely done Dan Mar 2nd
90 Mar 21 Comment Really like the dark background so it shows off the orchids. My only comment would be to add a little more DoF so the back flower is as sharp as the others. You could focus stack or increase the f stop to 9 or so. Mar 1st
90 Mar 21 Comment Great framing of the foliage for the heron. Nicely done. Mar 1st
90 Mar 21 Comment Thanks Ginny, I too am leaning towards taking it out. Mar 1st
