What technical feedback would you like if any?

Any

What artistic feedback would you like if any?

I created this image this morning. 20 image focus stack. Full Frame, no crop.
My intent was to create some dramatic lighting and a bit of a sense of mystery of this lovely flower.
Left just a touch of the flower out of the range of the focus stack intentionally.

Pertinent technical details or techniques:

Olympus EM-1 II, 60mm f/2.8 Macro
1/6 @ f/3.5, ISO 200
Stacked using Helicon

Very nice, Keith, and I think you accomplished your mission. There is wonderful dramatic light, and certainly some mystery to the image. I like it a lot.

Keith: Terrific spotlighting and a fine stack to my eye. I like the deep color as well. A tip o’ the to you >=))>
