Hi Hans, Beautiful colors, light an image, sharp where does it needs to be! Congrats great image.  :)

I just finished post processing the shots I took of OUR African Violets & used that tag to find this shot of yours.  I will now delete mine!  :-)  Just kidding of course but you've set the bar awfully high here.  This is a gorgeous image so nicely exposed & composed with a clarity one is unlikely to achieve with the kit lenses I possess.  Of course, kit lenses aren't designed for macro close-ups such as you have here.  A plus is the fact that the two predominate colours here compliment each other so well, adding to the visual contrast & providing high impact.  Great lighting too.  I suspect soft but directional window light.  Bottom line:  you've inspired me to try again to get the best image I can with the lenses I have.  Happy New Year!  LM.

Thanks for the personal note. (email)  Feel free to include the updated data here so others can benefit from it.  I found it most informative & will investigate the 'stacking' technique you referred to.  Gotta love this site for the people like you who are willing to share their secrets.  Best, LM.

Wow. Just wow. I love everything about this!
