    Gold in Nature / Flowers

On one photography safari into our suburban-sized backyard, I aimed my Nikon at some sunflowers. But I wanted real close ups to show all those hairs on the flower. To get that kind of detail from just a few centimeters (inches) away, I needed to shoot many exposures, changing the focal plane slightly from one frame to the next. Focus stacking. I think this image combines 23 stacked exposures. During that time, an ant, without consideration for the photographer, walked into the picture. And with a little (actually a lot of) work, behold this photograph.
