PN has cut off my description above so I'll do a recap here.

I was supposed to be cleaning up the garden after winter when I discovered these two dried out flowers from a Japanese Climbing Hydrangea. They had flowered in August, had been buried in winter snow, and I was discovering their skeletons in the following May. The flowers are about 2cm across (less than one inch). The seed pods are at most 2mm (less than a tenth of an inch). The veins in the flower are of coarse miniscule. I have a new and very basic macro lens. I tethered the camera with Digicamcontrol, shot off about 30 photos at varying focal lengths, and then focus stacked in Helicon to get a reasonable depth of field. Happy to get suggestions on how to improve, since I'm a beginner with this ...
