    Excellent result, William! Fresh colors and good white balance, good contrast and exposure, and not an artifact in sight. Posted 3 years ago

      I worked hard at trying to get it right . I think I reshot this insect stack three different times before I was satisfied and then spent several hours editing it.
      Thanks for the encouraging words.       Posted 3 years ago
