Perfect execution! I've never had good results stacking in PS, I've always used Helicon.

It is a bit of a hit and miss, this one was only 5 shots and didn't have a lot of hair. I have also tired Affinity photo which does a better job with hairy ones.
I try PS first as I can load straight out from Lightroom. There was a little work to clean up a couple of fuzzy areas, if you look hard enough you can see where. I didn't spend a lot of time on it
But was very happy with the result

What a great photo!

I especially love that the light is so even across the subject and the entire frame. . That must be difficult to achieve when photographing something that is only an inch or three from the end of your lens.

What do you mean by "ripper photo". . I am completely unfamiliar with that term, and don't believe I have ever seen or heard it used before seeing the title to this thread a few moments ago.

"Your" and "you're" are different words with completely different meanings - please use the correct one.
"They're", "their", and "there" are different words with completely different meanings - please use the correct one.
"Fare" and "fair" are different words with completely different meanings - please use the correct one. The proper expression is "moot point", NOT "mute point".

The lighting turned out fantastic, it required very little work in PS. Doesn't happen often enough though :)
I do have diffusers on my flash heads

This may help with the term "Ripper" https://blog.esl-languages.com …ralian-slang-expressions/ (external link)

So ..... you're complimenting your own photo?! . That's actually kind of funny. . But I do agree about it being a "ripper" of an image.
