Kathy challenged me to give Focus Stacking another try, and yesterday she inquired about this vegetable.
I took 40 photos, then followed a James Ritson (oh how I love him/his presentation style!!) Affinity tutorial to clone out inaccuracies and this is the uninspiring outcome for the subject, but I am quite impressed with the way the reflection on the white board has been enhanced - so think I must have done something right!
I think you got the depth within the florets and I think that is what focus stacking is intended to do. Good job of making a simple vegetable artistic. I have got to get serious about learning Affinity Photo. The problem I have is that the tutorials always seem to be behind the updates so the controls aren’t where they describe and I end up back at Snapseed.
I was noticing the reflection on the collage that you did and was quite impressed with that. Fabulous to see a close-up of this vegetable and its beauty however you achieved it
This is well done Jackie. 40 shots! That would have slowed down my computer for awhile. I like the reflection too. I'd love to see this cropped closer to the "head" so we can really see the florets all in focus. The vegetable is new to me @monikozi and I had asked Jackie about it in an early photo.
@kali66 thank you, but it's more a clever processing program

Like Kathy, 40 shots would have slowed my computer down a bit!
A good aperture chosen for this shot.
