One of Mrs L's favourites, so not possible to adjust stems and flowers in any way that might cause damage (first to the plant, then to me...). A focus stack of 15 with Affinity Photo. K3 + DA 35mm macro.

Thoughts, comments etc. welcome as usual.

missed this one Steve - love the lighting, edge highlights in particular, and how you've retained the natural colours against the black background - Nicely Done!

Thanks, folks. Now I've worked out how to do it, there will be more. Something to keep me out of trouble during the long, dark evenings of late autumn and winter... unless Mrs L. wants to use the kitchen.

This one is, to my eye, much more attractive than your second set, Steve! The dark background does not dominate because of the lovely lighting of the subject. Very nice!
