Hey Denis, please excuse my Noobness, but just so I am understanding the terminology correctly, do you mean 'Noise Reduction' in the 'Back Ground'?

Oh yeah, I see what you mean. I will have to tinker with it to see if I can make it better.

Probably didn't help that at the last minute I decided to crop it without doing anything else to it.

But I know for next time. :)

I will get it for you when I get home (not using my PC at the moment).

Should I be including that in my posts? Or only wait until it is requested.

Obviously I guess it makes it easy for you guys to help out if you have it at the start.... Hmm may have answered my own question. :)

Nice.

I'd suggest stacking more images with deep flowers like the second one--key parts are OOF. But the composition is otherwise very nice.

BTW, if you haven't, try comparing PMax and DMap in Zerene. PMax seems to be most common, but I have generally had better luck with flowers using DMap,

Thanks Paddler, I only used three images to stack in the second shot. And I used Dmap (the contrast was set very low iirc).

Rick: EXIF for the two shots listed below:
1st:
f/5.6
1/60 sec
ISO 400
Exp +0.3 step
105m
Flash (on camera)

2nd:
f/10
1/200 sec
ISO 400
Exp +0.3 step
105mm
No Flash

Ok, here are both with NR in the BG (or at least my attempt using Corel Paint Shop Pro X).

Any better or did I make it worse?
