Liverleaf (Hepatica nobilis) macro # 29

            That's an older one, spring obviously, and actually one of the few occasions only doing outdoor stacking with a tripod, cause it is a royal pain in the neck attempting to get super close to the ground with a regular full-size tripod; and super wobbly too. 😯 
I do, or try at least, some handheld stacks from time to time, when the reproduction ratio isn't too crazy.
I have never seen pink or white liverleaves where I live, 'only' the purple variety. There are similar looking white ones, but they are a different kind ("windflowers" / wood anemone). They often bloom together resp. at the same time, it's like a purple / white carpet in the forest then, ..really pretty. 🌼 🌼 😳
The photo almost looks fake, with the pollen like crystal sugar and the pungent colors, but that's what flash plus diffusor does on the macro level, not really anything left of the bright amibent daylight, it was midday I remember. There are some artifacts too, but I don't think they can be avoided, not with 55mm at that distance at least.
