Olivier. Thank you.
Yes. I did in fact like the strange effect in the stem, although I might not be qualified to judge. I am so new to the whole stacking topic and still very fascinated and confused.
The lower right flower was obfuscated by some foreground leaves. As soon as I touched anything the whole bush would start to move and shake for minutes. I chose to leave the tripod where it was, the light was fading very fast.
