I love the almost iridescent quality of the outside petals with the water drops.
A fine image Bart the belgian

More details will be welcome. Also you could have in focus those water droplets , by having bigger f stops , f20 let's say. You said you been using diffuser, then in my opinion you should achieve much more better image and quality in this picture.

Also for me is a bit to dark, and I can spot some noise here as well.

Thank you for your feedback. If I change the power of my flash for exemple can that change thé quality ? When. I use f20 and not f14 or f16 I must lighten up more I think.

Bart the belgian your exposure looks fine to me , I am viewing on a calibrated monitor.
At f14 you will not get the far parts of the flower in focus.
Changing the power output of the flash will affect the exposure and enable you to use a smaller aperture and gain an increase in depth of field.

Hello Bill, if I want it to be Sharp i'll have to start with stacking. What borders me is that the picture doesnt tell me what I sax. Mayby I have to change the colours a bit more
