Here I present to you some images that I have created of a dandelion fairy.

The images were technically challenging but I'm not sure that artistically they are the best. To me some of them seemed to be too busy in both the foreground and background so the viewing eye does not know where to look.

Let me know what you think.

Any how, here they are.

The images below took over 100 separate merged shots each to create.

If you like my macro images and would like to try focus stacking yourself then please take a look at my tutorial, see links below

Dandelion looks great in macro but also in focus stacking the details look cool! I like your last photo and the colours :)

Thank you. Yes the last photo took a lot of shots to focus stack, it was lit by natural light and a soft box from the other side which I think gives it the different colours.
