Autumn Leaves

Dying butterflies
Rain down upon my driveway
With the autumn leaves.

It's a shame to waste a dead butterfly - and as they tend to keep nice and still, a focus stacking opportunity.

Extra 2: 
People have asked me about my focus stacking setup. It tends to vary, but here's a quick snap of what I used for these shots:

Velbon tripod and focus rail (co-incidence)
Sony a6000
Canon MP-E 65mm
Fotodiox converter
3x 10W Ikea Jansjö LED worklamps (in this case) diffused by a sheet of craft foam. 

 
I know the last one
one had too many syllables
- it was a bad joke, you see.
  
Go on, go LARGE.
