Day 87 and there is a newly introduced Jasmine plant which, although small, is filling the house with its scent.

Canon EOS 7D
EF 100 f/2.8 macro
30 secs
f/16
ISO 100
Tripod

This is two exposures combined in Photoshop, with the focus on separate points to increase depth of field.

Interesting that you chose to stack the focus - did you consider using a non-macro lens? The only reason I ask is it isn't a closeup shot of the jasmine, you're seeing quite a lot of the plant, so could have got similar framing where f16 would mean you didn't need to stack.

In fact this is quite a small section of the plant, probably around an inch or so from top to bottom, so a macro was most definitely required.
