Thank you all for your kind words. Missus gets all the credit. My main contribution is to stay out of the way.
Here are couple more....

The bee at top in the middle of the photo is actually is in mid-air.



Another shot with bee.

Nice colours, Sury. The bee is nicely captured hovering as well. Bravo to your wife for keeping the garden beautiful and with blossoming flowers.

just when you think you've nailed it, sury raises the bar again,

here's my first go at a flower with focus stacking, I have put a thread up re this ,
this is an 8 image focus stack, do you think it makes a difference





this is the first photo in the sequence




and the last image

More of your beautiful flowers, Sury.
A charmingly prolific garden you have with your wife and kids... the bees, insects and birds are happy to be part of it too.

Thanks for sharing.

Very, very nice, Gio67.

That flower deservessuch a focus-stacking venture. The background has a watercolour-like bokeh which is pretty interesting. The bokeh is like this due to stacking as well, no doubt.

Thanks for sharing,

More lovely colours from Sury's garden

Very interesting focus stack Gio67 - you have certainly got the whole flower in focus with that method.
