Want critique Chinese Lantern (Physalis alkekengi)

[Baenki]

This is a stack of 114 raw images. I found Affinity Photo to be handling them better than .tif. I used a black shirt as background. Main light source from the side was a white LED panel, additionally I used my phone's flashlight from the bottom.

Color edits, detail sharpening as well as clarity edits of the finished stack I did in Capture One, then handed it over to Affinity Photo for an additional highpass sharpen and adding dodge&burn for plasticity (thanks again Helix_2648 for the tip).

ZAMIR PENA Thank you. I'm also very pleased with it. I think I have to do some more stacking from time to time. A good tool to have in the repatoire.

Baenki Great lighting and detail, well done. Hmm dodge and burn, I have used it before in product photography but never occurred to me it to use it elsewhere, may have to try it, very good results.

I'm impressed by the result Baenki. I wouldn't able to do it better. A long way until such a picture is finished, isn't it?

 

[Baenki]

Helix_2648 Yeah it takes some time, but it's totally worth it.
