Critique: CC:

A brilliant yellow hibiscus with a deep red center. I combined (stacked) five images with the focus point moved deeper into the flower to create this image.

Thank you everyone. The image stacking process can produce a nice image, and it also is a bit time consumer. I spent about one hour on this working with Photoshop and getting the layer masks made. I also found that the order of the images does have some impact on the masks that Photoshop creates - and I still ended up making changes to the masks.

Love the rich colors, John. I gave up on trying to have hibiscus this summer, just too stinking hot and dry.
