Nice composition; sharp; stands out from the dark background
Maker's notes:
This image was shot in my home studio using a potted Daffodil. Lit with a single light set to 5500K to simulate sunlight. Camera was mounted and tripod about 12 inches from the flower. Camera setting were ISO 400, f/16, 1/6 second, in manual mode. 18- 135mm Canon zoom was set to 92mm. Because depth of field was so short, then final photo is 6 focus stacked images aligned and merged in Photoshop CC. Photoshop was not able to merge them automatically, so each photo was masked for its sharpest area.
