Crab spider at breakfast

Came across my resident crab spider having her breakfast this morning. This same spider has been living in a geranium bush in my garden for about a month now, and has doubled her size in that time.
This is a three shot stack, no crop, taken with the Tamron 90mm macro.

Fantastic shot!

What software are you using for the focus stacking?

Re: Crab spider at breakfast

Best viewed large I think. Great shot. It has an amazing coloured brow.
Nice job on the stack too.
