Chrysanthemum elegance
Sorry, just another flora image.

I went for a B&W image for this one.

With the darker tones in the middle area, then getting lighter on the way out.To give it a more of a elegant look, rather than the full-on dark tones all over.

20D
EF100 2.8 macro lens
Tri-pod/release cable
Natural light
ISO 100
1.6 secs @ f/5 (for all 9 focus stacked shots)

Comments welcome :smile:

It looks good to me Alan, a very nice delicate quality to the monochrome treatment of the shot.

Hi Alan,
Certainly no need to apologise for posting a quality shot such as this. Besides it's great seeing a whole variety of different subject matter on the forum, it keeps it fresh and interesting.
The variety of light and dark tones works really well here and the focus stacking has worked faultlessly.
