Post-Processing:
RAW files converted with Adobe RAW. Decreased shadows, decreased highlights, increased contrast; curves; filter-unsharp mask. Used same settings for 5 images that only differed in focus. Loaded 5 files into stack and aligned layers; auto-blend the layers.
Extra Info:
5 images at different focal planes were taken of this fern with a Minolta 100mm F/4 Macro MD Mount Manual Focus Lens attached to a Minolta Bellows III. Images were stacked and blended to yield the final photograph of the fern.

This is beautifully photographed, with great detail and composition as well as a lovely background that really compliments the subject. Well done!

Simply beautiful. Your effort paid off, the nice plant stands out from background in a 3D-esque effect. Some zones slightly blown out but here doesn't matter for me, adds to the nice lighting. A very minor fault are some odd background textures at the top center, probably from stacking. But the image is lovely, great job!

What a beautiful little plant. Nature's art always takes my breath away. Nicely done. A stronger bokeh would bring out the subject even more. In my TT.

An interesting subject. Kudos on the focus stacking. I wish the lighting was softer to reduce the highlight glare that killed the color and detail other than the backlit hairs.

Love the plant, hate the busy background.
