Excellent !

...now let see if you get comments from people saying that "one should not use apertures smaller than, f/8 for exemple, as it causes visible degradation of the general IQ and sharpness" !

I do not see any degradation in you image, and I'm all in favor of using very small apertures for macro -when using dedicated lenses- !

Superb. Much better than my attempts at photographing cactus flowers.

I would like to comment on it, but I am a novice on stacking, but it make sense for me to do it 3 times on F25
I am learning
Thanks for sharing

I actually processed some shots without stacking, and I can't say it made a great difference, but the detail was slightly better on this one.
