[Leica] Just for kicks

[leica_r8 at hotmail.com (Aram Langhans)]

I finally got around to taking some photos of some Queen Anne Lace seed 
pods that I have had laying around since August.? For kicks I used the 
Q3? on a tripod and cropped heavily.? All three of these photos are 
stacked images.? View them large if you can.

Here is the full scene as close as I could get with the Q3 in Macro mode.

So, here is a crop of a portion of the seed pods.

Here is the "just for kicks" part.? I chose that amount of crop because 
before I did these, I was taking the photos using the Leica 100/2.8 APO 
with the 1:1 Elpro on my Nikon Z7ii.? So, here is a shot from that great 
lens and it is full frame, not cropped. Really no comparison, but I am 
wondering if you did not see this shot, would you be satisfied with the 
cropped Q3 shot above?

Of course, all three of these shots are reduced in size JPEGs for 
posting on the web.

Comments welcome.
