Info flower Anchusa officinalis, makro to around 1.2 : 1 My work. -- Mile (talk) 08:36, 15 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Comment The flower that is stacked is impressive, but the two that are behind are sooo out of focus that it looks a bit strange. I think it would have been better to isolate the flower so that there wasn't anything nearby. Alternatively, I wonder if there a way to merge this stacked photo with another taken with much great DoF where the rear flowers are out of focus but not nearly so much. You could use f/22 even because we don't care about diffraction softening. -- Colin (talk) 10:43, 15 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

It's strange because it is more than 1:1 - typical macro lens ratio (anyway we even dont see here much on 1:1). For other suggestion, probably it is possible, but i would go other way, i would set biger step, some 4-5 (here was minimal on 1) and make with the same setting, just would focus from end to further from 1st flower. Wondering what would back of flowers look like on f/22 if some part would be on f/8 and other on f/22 (not same EV). We might try some day to get clear. --Mile (talk) 12:48, 15 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Support Colin's points are valid but I think this deserves the star, anyway. Really impressive detail work. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 21:23, 15 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Support The other flowers out of focus indeed look a bit strange, but I think it is better so than if they were sharp. -- -donald- (talk) 07:00, 16 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Support very good flower stack, but composition has some disadvantages (upper crop, WB too cold?). --Ivar (talk) 08:11, 16 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Temp is decreased, but they are thoose of blue, some are more red colored. Upper crop is colateral damage, main object was to put stigma into good position and close as possible. --Mile (talk) 10:13, 16 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

temp is decreased? I know that flowers are blue, but the background looks also quite cold. --Ivar (talk) 11:09, 16 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose The quality and lighting of the flower in the foreground is really good, but the other 2 in the back are adding no value and indeed spoiling the compo with that awkward crop, sorry, Poco a poco (talk) 17:21, 18 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
