The fly was quite a way back from the tip of the bud which is why I had to take so many shots (166) but even so I'm quite pleased with the result. I hope you like it too.

Below are separate shots from the start, middle and end of the stack.

wow, a very cool and amazing work of photography, I am very interested in seeing your work @brianhphotos.

Thank you.

I like the steps of your process, especially on the first photo I even have not noticed a fly at all, it was looking like a normal background colour just slightly dark. While developing focus stacking then it is noticeable the fly and flower. Really Love the quality of your Photography!
