The best days are over - a photo on Flickriver

This is my first attempt at focus stacking in high resolution mode with my OM-D E-M1X, m.zuiko 60mm and macro extension tubes. It's not as sharp as I'd like but could be worse. Together with the previous stacking attempt, it's a nice little series.

UPDATE:
Unfortunately, three days after I posted this picture...

"Olympus Corporation ("Olympus") and Japan Industrial Partners, Inc. ("JIP") hereby announce that, today, the parties signed a memorandum of understanding to carveout Olympus’s Imaging business to a new company (“NewCo”) and subsequently transfer its shares to a fund managed, operated or otherwise handled by JIP (the "Transaction")..."

So, sadly, the title of this picture has got a completely new meaning. :-(
