Eirini, nice find and even better capture. The stack worked perfectly to make the entire critter and flower sharp, but leave the colorful BG nice and soft. Expertly done.

Scott said it all, but I do have a question:
Never tried Zerene, but when I stack in CS5, I often have to manually blend in the parts (like a moving insect) of the image that moved while making exposures. In this case, did the assassin bug freeze in place, or did the software sort out the stuff that moved?

Wayne, the only parts of the insect that moved were his "feelers". I did have to selectively clone them as the software made it look like he had 4 instead of 2!

Nice photo of both the flower and the bug. Is there another bug on the back side of the plant? I see some legs poking around the edges. ( Is he hiding from the "assassin"?) Nice details on the plant and bug with a great blurred background. The whole photo seems a little on the bright side. Possibly a slight darkening would help?
