Even though I left this one shallow, it still took 8 layers of focus stack to get the sharp segment in the middle; but I like the soft edges which kin

Selfie. Me in a 40's look

Didn't realise how far past its best this anemone was until I got it on the big screen. I decided it was worth working on anyway - it was crackly
