Dear Goldie;
OK, this is a mini-series here that I've done around the end of April when I noticed this little flower in the yard. Again, it is a short-lived one, so I had to work quickly. Like "Maggie" before, I've made many shots handheld with auto-ISO and 100mm macro lens. Here, I've merged many images by focus-stacking them. If I'm not mistaken, I think the flower is called "oxeye" and probably of the same family as daisies. Don't take my word for it, I'm no expert!
The shots combined here were shot with ISO 6400 (and I'm surprised because it was morning time and not dark, but this is auto-ISO for you). I tried my best here to clean the noise and still keeping the image "acceptable" so in the end not much noise was cleaned really (it wouldn't be clear unless at 100% zoom or so). So, the grains on the petals are actually half real, and half noise, if I can say so. I also did a controlled sharpening (sharpening some areas and leaving others).
