Excellent job on the stack, keeping the background plant beautifully soft and the subject absolutely crisp front to back, Bill. I suspect you leveled the camera for this, but since there’s no real horizon context, I think this would feel more comfortable if it were rotated just a little bit counter-clockwise. Other than that trivial adjustment, it’s utterly gorgeous.

Bill, I am so glad that your garden is doing so well through the winter. Nice succulent and captured so well.
