Wow this just pops is it the stacking that produces that higher level finish?

Thanks Barry/Geoff

Barry-
It certainly does seem to make things "pop"
Using a tripod-
Try doing a simple subject with a macro on f16 or f22, f32. , and then do three pictures at f4.5 with the same lens and stack them.
You will certainly see a difference.
Cheers

Sorry- forgot to explain-
focus on the front of the subject
focus on the middle
focus on the back
Combine in CZM

Many thanks I'll give it a try although most of the time I just need to get one frame right.

A lovely image, I particularly like the new fresh green leaf growth!

I'll have to try this photo stacking lark, although I don't have much idea how it's done.

Off to Google I go!
