Delicate! is what comes to (my) mind.

Michael:
I like the soft light, colors, and the framing effect of the two upright petals.

You made a flower into a beautiful dancer.

Beautiful way of explaining it. Was my reaction too. Not the first time with your images.
Thank you both

Micheal makes masterful images.
Where do the zig-zag lines on the leaves in the out of focus areas on the right hand side come from?
Is that a part of the stacking process?

I don't know what you are pointing to, but whatever it is, with stacking all kinds of artifacts arise, because like CDS and DVS, focus stacking is a sampling process, which means some data is lost.

Outstanding image!
Sensually beautiful flower
Thanks for sharing it

I can't see the zig zag lines here either. Was this superb lighting a natural occurrence: 'existing light', as they say?
-
It could be that the Iris leaves have this zig-zag property and that I am exaggerating, sorry. I have cropped out the zig-zag part and attached.
While doing so, I found some layers, also attached.
It is a beautiful photograph, Michael. I am not disputing that. I am just asking questions because I don't know much about stacking.

I don't get what you are talking about. Sorry. I went back and cleaned up a few more artifacts. With focus stacking, there is not such thing as fixing all the artifacts as long as it is a stacked photo. That would be a single-shot photo, rather than a layered stack. Anyway, this forum is just for showing photos.

Well ... if Jakov doesn't mind ... i believe Jakov is asking questions about the characteristics of the out of focus leaf. I do believe it is the nature of the leaf and the out of focus rendering.
I agree with Michael that stacking artifacts are fact of stacking life. I understand he has much more experience with it than i do, but i've observed it as well. In some cases it cannot be "cured", only "obscured".
Also, i don't think it helps other participants in the forum to shy away from replying to questions, even if they may come across as image critique. IMHO of course.
