Nature shooting at Home Depot? I never though of that ome. : Excellent pics.

Not much different from shooting at the zoo IMO. You have to take the shots where you find them. I get the feeling Mitch took this flower home and set it up for that nice blue background. :uhoh
I know you're just practicing the stacking thing, but I'll mention that I actually found it disconcerting that the DOF was so wide. I would have liked a bit less DOF. But you don't care, since that wasn't your intention. Just thought I'd say it.
Actually, I do care what you say about my pics. Your one of the few here who seems to regularly respond to my posts and questions. Yes, this was an exercise in focus stacking. Interestingly, these did not require a lot of work because most of the blooms were in the same plane. In a way, I agree with your comments. It would be nice to have one bloom stand out in focus with the others blurred. I just did not have a focal point for such a shot. All the blooms are very similar.
This was my fist attempt at formal floral photography. Just used a 60W light bulb in a dark room with a black background.
