Beautiful detail and subtle colours. I think an even closer crop would be better. 'Stack of 11 shots, Combine ZP' ?? Can you explain more about this? Is this some sort of focussing technique with different focus points on each shot merged to give greater DOF?

Thanks, Greg.
The free, downloadable software is Combine ZP.
Google it, you'll like it!
Take the individual images, changing focus gradually from back to front of the total depth of field required for the subject.
Process as instructions on the software.
There's obviously more to it than that, but give it a go, if I can do it anybody can. It's very clever!!!
Thanks for looking,
Roger.
