That link was awesome! It'd be nice if he made the lighting more dramatic. Thanks for sharing, Vanderberg.

My first attempt in focus stacking. I combined 12 images using Photoshop CS5. Thank you very much for viewing.

Jiro, I hate to break it to you but ..... it's all wrong! Terrible (or so says my middle son.) You've put it together all wrong, man! eeeeeesh! You have a clone outfit (empire) with a rebel helmet (rebels - obviously). sigh. Try again!

So now that confirms that this is not my toys, baby. Hehehe. I just found it that way from the pile of lego parts in the bin. But hey, it all the more fit the title "the unknown soldier" because he's all mixed up! At least I got an eeeeeesh! from you. Hahaha!

Yes, congratulations! This just goes to show, though. With macro work - it's so hard to observe all the tiny details from composition to lighting on such a "squint" scale. i love that about it!

Even in macro, the same discipline applies: watch your background, check your composition, and look at how your lighting affects the subject. The good thing about macro is that your background is always blurred so the only thing that you have to watch is the background color relative to your subject. I'll be pursuing more of this macro thing while it's too hot outside to look for something to shoot.
