This is the last one, I promise! We hadn’t planted Lantana in quite a while. Having done so and having been mostly home bound with the pandemic, it gave me time to appreciate and photograph these flowers. Richard

Hi Richard, wow those are very colorful flowers! Looks like the image stack worked very well; all are pretty sharp front to back in the enlargement. The background is nicely vague with a hint of other flowers adding to the overall composition. Can’t see anything I’d wish to change, so well done.

Richard: Working a subject like you’ve done with the lantana is always a good exercise and you’ve come up with some fine images. The clarity and color are marvelous. Don’t be reluctant to keep 'em coming. \>=))\>

Lovely image! Stacking has worked very well with both front and the back flowers in focus. colors, contrast, background and details all add to the image.

The best of your series in my humble opinion. It is always fun to pick a subject and work it in various ways. Thanks for posting.
