Beautimous!! I love the colors.

yeah the i havent really messed around too much yet so the color was by luck and leds. another day or so some will have some more good purple showing. the one with the white top is as green as it ever was. the other 3 all are showing purple on the leaves and buds. weird. a 7000 nice. way too much camera for me. i looked at those too but got a 5200 and its still a huge learning curve from the old pentax 35mm i have. i used a 40mm f/2.8g micro, no rails. set it up with control pro2 and let controlmynikon take the stack. it works nice and quik but it is a lil sloppyish compared to humans. still works nice. i used zerene to stack them too. i'll get it right eventually once i spend more time with it.

thats cuz its your job and who wants to work more when ya get home. but the difference is yeah my hitech camera and software take awesome pics and im really good at pushing buttons, but i know you can take them the real way if you really wanted to and put my best effort to shame. im a hack and i know it...saved by technology again

You'll love the 5200 -- that's a great rig. I grew up with Pentax 35mm gear and got a D80 when it first came out (my first DSLR) and had to have the 7000 when it came out. Love it. I had to look at controlmynikon -- hadn't seen that before. Cool! I'll have to put that on the laptop and try it out. In theory, that should give a more accurate focus stack than doing it manually (but adding a computer to control it will be a minor inconvenience).

well controlmynikon doesnt seem to have a manual focus control and nikon control pro 2 does but doesnt have stacking that i can find anyway, so i use them both. until that changes. its also a little weird with live view but its an awesome program for the doh. i still love film tho dont know if that will ever change.

I really need to play more with the pics.

Meantime, here's a closeup taken with a little Canon S95 pocket cam:
