About the Image(s)
This was taken with my new Canon R5 using the Canon EF 70-200 f4 plus the 500D closeup lens (no longer available). Originally, I tried a focus stack of 30 shots at f7.1 but the stacking program that I use, Canon's DPP4, had trouble where the white stamens crossed. Therefore, I turned to using a focus stack of just five shots taken at f16. At f16 most of the flower was in focus in a single shot, and the remainder of the shots took care of the background. I am not satisfied with my processing of the original, After stacking.jpg, and I welcome ideas and suggestions. (In general, I am far more interested in receiving criticism and suggestions than praise.)

Welcome to the group!
This is a beautiful photo of the witch alder. Bev's changes make the flower really stand out. Very nice.   Posted: 05/03/2021 15:44:33

Yes, Bev's changes really added snap to the image. It took me a while with my editing program to approach what she did. I've found that I like the effect of rotating the image slightly to bring the leaf closer to a comfortable diagonal.   Posted: 05/04/2021 10:57:46
