Hi, Nice single shot ! If you had completely stacked the bee with the Raynox, you probably wouldn't have bought the Laowa :-) I have also realised that the Raynox does not deliver good results with every lens :-( But I know there are macro photographers, especially those who take photographs of live...

Stereo would probably also work well.

Thank you for your response. I have been trying out various depth map generators on Hugging Face such as MiDaS, ZoeDepth, then Photoshop beta, Davinci Resolve, and also paid services like Leiapix.

BTW, I am always amazed when I see
