65 Apr 21 Comment Hi Peter
Excellent color, detail. i wonder if it would have been possible in shooting image to include a little more at the top of the fuschia, such that the white would not have been abruptly cut off. Very nice.

65 Apr 21 Comment Very nice! I am really impressed by the degree of detail and DOF for this 3 dimensional structure. To nitpick, I might have liked just a slightly larger margin on the left - feels as if the tips of the filaments have been cut off. Apr 7th
65 Apr 21 Reply Thanks Lynne, I do not usually (hardly ever) shoot abstracts: this one just struck me for some reason. I agree with your comment re upper right corner: the image was uncropped, and I think it would have worked better if I had just brought that in a little. I am not sure if attached works any better...

65 Apr 21 Comment Lynn,
I like this a lot, though I would not have recognized this as an African violet (which for me is one of the joys of this type of macro photography). The results of the stacking around the pistils and stamen, right down to the pollen grains along with the hairs on some of the petals is excellent.
The petal beneath the center of the flower comes out anteriorly and is out of focus, which is slightly distracting: the only way to avoid that would be to stack a much larger number of images (I have done that for some other flowers: I have gone as high as 30+ images.) I am currently using Canon that does not have in camera stacking ability so am using Photoshop, which can handle that number readily, even if it takes a fair amount of processing time. Michael
