I saw this flower last spring and have tried to get acceptable photographs with a single shot. I do not want to shoot it directly on but still wish to see the full depth of all of the spikes and I want the background to be highly blurred. The weed is generally mixed in with other grass so the background tends to be busy and distracting, so focus stacking was an ideal alternative. Neighboring blossoms are seen nicely out of focus. I utilized Zerene stacker to generate the composite. This program has a helpful editing capability which came in handy to pick a single image with the best shot of the fly and make sure that it is used in the composite. Nice feature.
