I really struggled voting on this image. Whilst the sharpness, light and colours were exceptional I found the one out of focus stamen over the hoverfly's eye distracting. Well done on the HM.

You really succeeded at bringing the viewer into a new, miniature world. Impressive technical and aesthetic achievement! Congrats

Yeah, I will never understand giving a 1 ever unless it did not even come close to meeting the challenge.

Congratulations on your HM! That stamen cost you a ribbon, I fear.

My highest rated photo ever! Thanks all for the comments! This is a photo stack of 8 photos using the Helion Focus Bracket Tube, a tripod, and remote. Then the photos were merged using Helicon Focus. Here is an image for scale from last year. Message edited by author 2018-08-08 00:15:37.

Phenomenal macro, and one of my favorite wildflowers.

Wondering if this is focus stacked. Absolutely superb.

Amazing detail and clarity.

This is splendid, so crisp and sharp. Maybe just a tiny bit of softening on that right petal to counteract the sharpness of the stamen and wasp? But then again, what do I know, I have never shot anything this great! 9

Unbelievably sharp and vivid! Must be some mighty lens you have there. Shame about the stamen at front, but some things are hard to avoid.
