That looks great. :D
What lens did you use for this, I have a Canon f2.8L macro and have been thinking about stacking.

Bought a Stackshot

Well I bought a Stackshot from Scott Linstead (exclusive Canadian dealer for Cognisys). This is one of my first from it. Very impressed, clean up is much quicker. http://jmelanson.smugmug.com/Newest-Shots/Newest-Shots/i-4FW9PKv/0/O/Bee%2054.jpg Crop from above... http://jmelanson.smugmug.com/Newest-...
