My humble effort in putting together a focus stacked image of the spider and the water droplets again, this time I was able to take 5 shots before the spider ran away leaving it's lunch behind .. :smile:


Please see the larger version provided, thanks a lot for your c&c.

Soubhik, Another good take. Five shot stack is clearly showing in terms of depth. However in terms of composition I might still prefer the previous one marginally as the spidy is pushed to a corner here, looking out of the frame.

Good top down look at the spider, and good detail in the spider via the stack. I agree with Ram about the comp issues. I'll add that the entire right side of the image does not really add anything. Looks like you were working in a very narrow space which made this one a real challenge, but I do like the good view of the spider and the water drops.

I agree with Ram & Scott that the spiders placement isn't optimal, but a great effort for for your first 'stacked' image.
I have yet to try a stack.. I keep thinking it's just too much like work, and I'm a lazy photographer :wink:
I like the water drops, nice details and exposure Soubhik:toast:
