Hi DrLazer,

Except from Zerene Stacker or Helicon Focus, CombineZ is often used.
It is freeware and as a software engineer you may be interested in the macro ability etc. For me it gives excellent results.

Your English isn't bad I would say -
And your photograph is excellent!
Incredible that this butterfly sat still so you could make 10 shots.

(As a sidenote, triggered by the comment of ChrisR) Some species names may sound funny but dont be surprised if they are actually used. We named a fossil hermit crab worfi (from Worf, Star Trek) in 2008, and as a reaction an extant crab species was named darthvaderi in 2009. Both names chosen based ...

The light in this picture makes it absolutely perfect. It gives real drama to the picture.
For my taste this must be one of your best pictures ever.

Nice image, with good detail! Guess the working distance of that lens is superb to work with. Especially when looking at the smaller overall image (posted), it somehow seems to me that there is some banding on the eye.....but I dont see it in the full-sized image. Could it be that that "banding" is ...

Nice image! Amazing "pattern".

Absolutely great image - the combination of colours is fantastic!
