A little more serious stack, getting back to the longer ones. Also one of my more detailed in awhile. Of coarse you can't choose when your jumper will stop and rest. Would be a Better shot if different background, but can't have everything, Damn It.........

Truly outstanding Martin. I've never tried stacking but your results make it clear that it's something I've got to try. This one is marvelous. The leaf in the upper right is a bit distracting, but it could be easily removed by cropping closer. could you also use the cloning tool? I don't know whether this is an option with stacked photos.

This post saves me a lot of typing - LOL - great shot and stacking job - & "WOW" hand held 28 shots - never happen with my butterfly hands - my only negative comment is about the leaf in the upper right corner - not hard to understand how you left it in putting together the subject of the image. :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

Thanks Jim, not really hard to stack, just takes Lots of practice, then it's like riding a bike, it comes natural. Yeah, I might go back and remove the leaf, it does pull the eye a bit, Thanks.

Hey Tom, wish you lived close by as well. We could trade old stacking stories. Would enjoy challenging each other, your getting good at that Micro stacking.

Well, I'm no expert on hand-held stack collection, but to me this looks like your finest moment in stacking these critters--- and that's saying a lot.
Kudos. :thumbup: The download is stunning.

Thanks Allen,
It's growing on me. Still love some of my old Robberfly stacks pretty well. Sure missed my chances at them this year.. Was hoping to take them to another level. Guess I'll level up in Jumpers..
