I like it. It draws the viewer in to try and understand the photo. Lighting and sharpness is good.

From an editing perspective, go to 100% zoom and take a look at the top-left black corner where the ginger meets the blackness. There is a halo of sorts (probably from focus stack alignment?) that you could black out completely.

Thanks so much for this valuable feedback. I recently switched from Adobe to Affinity and have to get used to their tools. This is my first focus stack image so I don’t really know a lot about side effects of this technique. Maybe I also had too harsh lightning or have to get used to the automatic selection tool as I made the upper left part completely black in post processing.
