Hi bradSut26, these look fine for not using a tripod. I had to take quite a number of captures to get a sharp image of a large spider once and although the camera was on a tripod, the wind was blowing the web all over the place. In the end, I did get enough images to produce a really sharp final result with focus stacking techniques so it can be done when the subject or camera is moving.

My guess is that you didn't have a tripod hand at the time, but, given the alternative, why not just use a tripod? If you still need focus stacking then by all means use it but why make the job harder than necessary?

As these are reasonable sharp images, were you looking for C&C on something other than the focus stacking technique?

They are a very nice set of well-exposed and composed, sharp images.

In terms of a comparison between #1 an d# 2, I prefer the portrait to the landscape orientation. It just feels a more balanced, harmonious arrangement to me. But I think I do prefer the colour to the mono rendering, although we do get a better sense of the texture on the surface of the eggshell in the B & W.

I think #1 and #2 are a better compositional arrangement than in n#3 and #4.
