Gob-smacking, Kerrow! Both the image and the flower. It is amazing how transparent image stacking can be.

Thank you, you have to time it just right to get a good example of the bloom, with no or minimal defects (less time in Photoshop).

Not so easy even in slightly breezy conditions, this was my third or fourth attempt to get a series of images that aligned correctly in Photoshop.

Terrific image KD! The vignette really accentuates the lighting and colors of the bloom.
