Ops ... Canon 7D Mkll, MPE 65mm 1-5x macro lens; 39 images stacked using Cognisys computer rails and HeliconSoft software. This image was photographed about 4x and tightly cropped.

At a distance, the bloom looks like this:

Wow! Just a wonderful blossom! I like the warm orange colors but the bright light reflection on the pollen stem is a bis distracting. I would try to remove it in Photoshop if possible. Apart from that it's just wonderful!

Thanks Helix ... that stem is a bit hot - i'll see what i can do. I see in the middle of my photo some kinda printing about "copywrite..." and am wondering how that got there? I don't want watermarks in the middle of my photographs - very distracting! Does that always happen with posted images? Is there an option not to have it?

The photo is nice and the flower is beautiful indeed.
