Old Hydrangea Head

by GlynM

My entry for the recent fortnightly competition "Bokeh" which I am putting up here to have it included in my portfolio.

A decayed and dried up Hydrangea catching the winter sun.

A photo stack of 4 shots was used to create a depth of field that covered the foreground flower head while maintaining the soft background.

Pentax K-5 with the Samsung equivalent of the DFA100 Macro
1/1250sec, F4.5 & ISO200
Tripod mounted

The focus stack was processed using CombineZP and the image has been resized using PSE10

Beautifully observed Glyn, I liked this when I saw it in the competition pictures.

Nice textures and good use of selective focus. I like it.
