As I've stated yesterday, when I've posted a shot of this flower (Sesuvium portulacastrum) which was shot by phone - I've tried to shoot it again with my Canon but the flower just disappeared! Anyway, later on, like 2 hours afterward or so, when the sun moved a bit and the yard wasn't so bright, I've managed to shoot a macro of the flower which you see here.
I've used my Canon EF 100mm f/2.8 macro lens, at f/11, with ISO on auto and handheld and in burst driving mode. Shooting it wasn't easy while looking through the viewfinder and trying to lean and move with it (as it shook with the breeze). I've collected the shots into 3 stacks, and each stack was merged to form one image, and this is the first here, done with focus-stacking. The original color for the flower is white, but with color correction it turned purple-ish, yet I didn't try to adjust it further; I just liked it that way. In fact, this flower has variants that can be purple or pink as well!

I didn't try to clean the noise much here (also the ISO wasn't high here, at 500), as the noise level somewhat added to the overall relative sharpness of the image. However, I was reluctant between keeping the general soft look of the image or to increase the sharpness further. In the end I've decided for the latter.
