Mark, The blue hepatica is wonderful. I love the blue pedals in the blossom. I appreciate the sharpness overall and in the central core. And the little hairs on the stem and green parts - only with stacking!
The leaves image looks very natural and not processed. You went a long way for this, but the result is worth it. It's always nice to look at your images. I always learn things. Regards, Bob S.
