I only wanted the flowers to be in focus. Shot two pictures and blended with Helicon Focus.
This was the last chance I had to shoot this flower 5 min after I shot it the flower fell off.

I really like what you did with this! I am assuming the the two shots were with various focus points of the main flowers. The end result is very well done!

I only used two images using a Lensbaby Velvet 85 mm.
Lens was 18 inches from the flower.
Used f/5.6. Used one flash with umbrella. Black poster board was 2 ft behind plant.
First shot one focus on the large flower and second shot was one focus shot on the opening bud.
Final image stacked and merged with Helicon Focus software.

Thanks for asking Carol
