Ok it rained all day yesterday here

.
Had a play with a tulip. All shots focus stacked using zerene stacker.
The flower was actually closed so i had to use a cocktail stick wedged between the petals to non destructively open it up for the interior shots.
You can see the pollen anthers beginning to split open to reveal the pollen.

Beautifully done. The contrast between the sharp focus on the anthers and the bokeh on the petals behind is just right.
