Euphrasia (spp)Not captive
These beautiful little flowers are really brought to life with macro and a bit of stacking which we all know is the in thing
It really does seem to give them a lift
I had a Fly Agaric pano all ready to go on but they seem to be a bit popular at the moment

Beautiful flowers John and they stand out well against the background.
Hope you didn't eat the Fly Agaric for your tea
Well done.
Geoff.

Beautifull flower very well captured and you managed to use the stacking technique to your advantage here.

That is very very good indeed John one of my favourite stacked shots I have seen, the out of focus sections really contribute to the overall image quality, superb

A sight (and plant) for sore eyes, John. Excellent.
Works really well John. You are getting very good with this stacking. Must be all the practice
Posted by John Robinson on September 21, 2010 at 6:08 PM
Thanks all.
The more I do of this I am beginning to think that its the bits out of focus which give an image
depth and feeling. Even with this stacking game I reckon theres a need for fuzzy stuff in the right place. Can't explain my self very well.
Cheers

I'm not too sure how many people have actually seen Eyebright as its so easily overlooked, but this really is a cracking image. To be able to get such separation on these miniscule flowers with a clean fuzzy background is extremely difficult.

Excellent job. Maybe if it were me I would add a touch of brightness to give the flowers more punch.

Im not a flower man John but I know quality when I see it, superb photography.

Great job John. The flowers are sharp and the the colours excellent - I agree with you about the oof making the image as well
Posted by Ian Mason on September 22, 2010 at 6:59 PM
Yes, I second Dale's comment - and you've really got me interested in this stacking malarky!

Thanks all.

There's a big new world out there !!
