Very nice light and color Walt, along with a great bg. Beautifully seen and presented.

Walt, I like almost all in this photo: the composition with the tip of the triangle pointing diagonally towards the bottom angle, thus giving a feeling of movement; the sharpness, the pure colors of white and green, the dark and blurred background.
For a suggestion, what do you think about lowering the luminosity of the green and orange lights in the upper area? It's only my taste, of course.
Take care.

Wonderful texture and colors in the leaves, accented by the white flowers and dynamic range. I like the arrangement which seems to extend downward towards both left and right bottom corners on diagonal lines.

The only minor nit I might have is the rather bright areas of green bokeh around the center leaf near the top. If they were a different hue, I think the center leaf would stand out more. ,

Very cool looking plant, Walt. Seems to me I've heard of it used as a medicinal in the old days, which may explain it's rarity. I love the textures in the leaves. I might try to get a few more focus levels as there are some anomalous looking oof areas in the leaves.

I will echo Dennis' comments. I try to get at least 8 images for stacking, usually ten to twenty. As a rule of thumb, I go to the nearest focal point and back off, just a hair, then wind up one image past the last in focus point. I notice also a cloning error near the LRC.

If you can find this again, or one similar, take another stab at it.

Thanks for all the great comments and suggestions. I learn so much from this!

Lovely isolation of the plant, Walt, with excellent light and colour. Regarding the stack, there are areas of softness on various leaves, especially noticeable in the larger version, which you may have intended but which might be a bit distracting.
