Hi Gaetan: Somehow you missed the focus on the Desert Rose as the flower is not at all sharp.
If you are doing focus stacking the camera must be mounted on a sturdy tripod to avoid any possible camera movement. Then shut off the auto focus and focus manually on the flower. In my experience the auto focus does not always focus exactly where I would want it to. I strictly use manual focus on this type of flower photography. You will also have better success using an f stop such as f/8 or f/11. Just my thoughts !! Posted: 10/06/2025 17:01:03
