 Stacked image. I tried Helicon Focus this time. It was faster and the quality was comparable to photoshop. It could be a reasonable choice if you are stacking a large number of images. It can also handle RAW which photoshop requires jpeg. I saw no difference in the helicon RAW result versus photoshop jpeg but it might be image specific.

WOWSERS LARRY .. !! ..
you have definitely shown this bug in all its glory .. and the details are fascinating ..
i've had a 'problem' with stink bugs on my mandarin tree during summer .. they are literally the only insect i kill .. i spray them with a mixture of detergent and water .. i keep telling them not to come back but they ignore me to their detriment .. ;)

Ugly little dude posing for a great photo. You have kept the sharpness on the subject which really makes him pop against the diffused background. Really good stuff here.
If you are "extended" photoshop savvy, a solid diffused green background would have made it pop even more (9 --> 10)
