From my view :

• Higher aperture.
• Using a flash ( diffuser)
• Having enough time
• Lens with builtin IS to avoid any blur when your hand are shaking.
• Using a tripod when possible to.

That's what I know, MinitecaPhotographie Helix_2648 or rcorteschile they might add something in case I missed something.

Yes. You can use a higher aperture like F/8 to get a better DOF and also to allow différents layers to cross over. Les shots needed.

The picture is great even if the focus is not 100% perfect. Fantastic lovely pastel colors in the background and a very pleasant perspective.

Jack already gave you already some really good tips.
The shutter speed should be around 1/250s or at least 1/160s for a free hand stack.

In your case it's caused by the wind which is really tricky. You can try to use a higher shutter speed with an underexposed picture. -1 EV should cause no problems and give you probably a higher shutter speed. You can correct the exposure later on in PS or LR. Apart from that try to find a way to fixate the flower or the leaf somehow to reduce the shaking.

I have to test focus stacking with a flash and cannot give you any tips about it.

Thanks guys Jack, MinitecaPhotographie and Helix_2648 for your comment and very good advices

It's a very good image to be a handheld stack. I usually take studio pictures with the maximum aperture of the lens (f/2.8) for stacking. I am not sure if you do the same on the field, or maybe mix a closer aperture with a bigger step on your camera (Olympus right?).

Hi rcorteschile
I used here tripod because was very windy again and I I shooted with external tubes mmlite and yeah with Olympus camera and lens
I'm just still learning the focus stacking and braketing in camera- there is on system as in M-manual where I'Ve been used to this time . Still just learning .
Gracias for your comment rcorteschile

Beautiful colors.
The shallow depth of field makes it difficult to identify the insect. But the little that we see suggests that it is an insect of the Order of Hemiptera (bedbugs)
