Don't know an awful lot about stacking John but I can see the edges of the subject not quite right and I think you've missed a bit on the underside of the abdomen (now facing up). Last but not least the green of the BG looks off too on my monitor. But other than that I like it!
Cheers,

Nice one John
Nits covered Spiders are tricky buggers to stack as they wobble a bit like weebles

Thanks both .
Yes - it was one of my first attempts and there was a twitchy spider problem. I was naive enough to think the programme would handle it !!
Des not sure what you mean about the green ?
Cheers

Needs warming up a bit I think John...

Very good close-up John, the patteration on the spiders abdomen is very nice, looks like broken egg shell.

Just viewed this with my 3D glasses. Would make an excellent 3D image.

Had another go at the same spider. Spent all afternoon on this little sod ! Found out what the problem is. Its not the spider twitching - its actually the abdomen moving as it breathes !
I'll get there in the end. One leg spoils this one. Changed the background too.
Same set up.

David - This damn thing will end up 1D when I whack it with a coal hammer !

Interesting...this stacking lark seems to be quite difficult to get right out in the field?

Yes . This is done in my greenhouse where the thing lives but out side there are so many problems. Apart from insect movement, there's wind etc and you only need the slightest movement to mess everything up.
Thats why I am starting to do flowers inside. Its surprising how few days we get with no wind at all.

You must have a lot of patience John
Nice work.

It's coming together nicely John. The Green background on the first one is very complementary
