Yes, a Nikon 105 and I also used Helicon stacking software. It is still a little rough round the edges, I have to get in there with a fine erase tool.

Was this beetle photographed against a white background, or did you do this in PP? I personally prefer neutral colors.

It's a 100 MB file. I am not sure I have a way to send it since my mail system won't accept files that big.

It was against a white background. Since I work indoors, and use a photo stand I usually use a background that I hope gives the best result. This is still very much hit and miss for me: I started macrophotography just a couple of months ago and most of my time seems tone spent in finding out what not to do.

This is a fine looking beetle Mike. You can open the file in Lightroom and save as JPEG. LR has an option to limit file size, set it to 5000 (5MB) or 10000 (10MB) that should offer plenty of resolution for us to appreciate your upload and not too taxing on your end.It's a 100 MB file.

You did good Mike. I notice some focusing banding but overall a nice stack. Shooting on a white background makes cleaning up stacking halos much easier. Whats next on the rig?
