Ah yes -- been there, done that, have the motion sequences to show for it.

It is remarkable, isn't it, how quickly things can droop and curl when they get mounted for stacking!

I love the mauve backgound with the blue stigma.

Although it´s, as you´ve explained, an artifact, it is a beautiful picture indeed, Antonio!
These pollen grains look like precious jewellery, well presented on that blue velvety, spirially curled stigma/stylus.

Incidentally, we just had chicory buds/shoots (or belgian endive as it is sometimes called in English) as salad for lunch yesterday, a bit bitter, but I like it. And I consume an infusion of roasted roots of Cichorium intybus in my surrogate coffee almost each morning, having sucessfully overcome my former caffeine addiction. :D

Antonio,

What type of light source did you use for illumination when taking these images?

My wife once made me bean soup.

I asked "What's this?". She replied "It's bean soup."

I said "I believe it's been soup. What is it now?"

:D
