Hi nataliaflejszar&Photo, nice subject! But some focus layers seems to be missing (the stack seems to be incomplete) and there are some merging errors.

The arrows shows an error in your stack. The left part of the leg looks more or less sharp and then there's a cut and a blurry leg continues.

The hairs below the insect is very good ans sharp.

Try to reduce the ISO value... looks to high to me..

Besta danke @Helix_264 for your really helpful comment! In details!

Have you tried itself this "handheld focus stacking techniques? -taken in camera?
Do you know best programs that can work with well?
PS and Helicon focus- I tried both but still aren't best for it..

Lot of practice and learning still
Macro photography is not easy although wonderful

Yes, I tried it but just for a test nataliaflejszar&Photo. It's difficult. Especially without a stabilisation. I use Helicon because I can choose between different stacking methods and the post processing to correct failures is much easier than in PS.
