John, I believe this is the same image without soft focus effect.

Yes, John, I have this image and other columbines without soft focus. I do use stacking techniques for both retaining the complete subject (at least everything I need or choose) and then keeping the background nice and smooth, as if I shot at a wide aperture. This defies dof rule. Sometimes, I do make the entire subject and background in focus. I'm not sure what you would like to see (1) a stacked but sharp (no soft focus effect) flower or (2) a scene where the entire floral and background are sharp? BTW, I often stack floral subjects from the tripod, if it is calm. With bugs, I'm always using hand-held technique. Over time, I will post lots of stacked images.

Looking at one of your today's images, I noticed you use hand held stacking. I had to look backwards at your macro flowers and came upon this. Wow! Everything you show is necessary. Nothing extraneous. Do you have one without the soft focus?

You've isolated the main flower very well, Eb! Excellent floral!
Dave.
