Hi David,
A great subject and excellent job on the focus stacking. The highlights are a little too bright on my screen. A little difusion between the light source and subject would have worked well in this situation IMHO.

Not the subject type I normally take David but it looks pretty impresssive. I reckon that focus stacking wizardry is well beyond my capabilities. I have to agree with Justin re the brightness of the highlights.

Thanks everyone for commenting.. :wavey: I only expected one or two because of the subject. A pleasant surprise. :smile: The highlights are bright because that is how they were
and what attracted me to the subject in the first place. :smile: :wink:
