Marmalade

Marmalade is from my The Beauty Within collection and was composed at Edisto Memorial Gardens in Orangeburg, SC.  While working another daylily, I noticed the gorgeous oranges and reds on this flower.  I could hardly wait to get the tripod moved and setup in front of this subject.

Steven,
Absolutely beautiful photo.  Color is amazing and incredibly sharp.  Is this a stacked image and if so did you perform that in PS.

Marc,
Nope, this is a single frame.  I have tried focus stacking with some of my images, but I gave up on it because the software doesn't seem to be good enough yet (too many areas are left to be "fixed" up by hand).  Out of the little bit that I did do, PS was, by far, the worst at leaving areas OOF where there was clearly a layer in focus that could have been utilized.  I found myself spending several hours on each image trying to patch the OOF areas with in focus parts (that I felt the software should have been able to do).  Helicon was MUCH better, but it had problems too.
