This is a very nice stack, but I think it could be improved in post by darkening and blurring the background. The pod to the left of the upper lily is distracting.
Bill. Thank you for your comments which are very helpful. This was only my first try with Focus Shift. I'm not sure, but I think I used setting of 4.
Beautiful stack. Especially for a first try. I am dabbling in stacking too, and I am using the D850 and a focus rail. Both are fun ways to stack macro.

Thanks very much for the tip. Will surely check out the link provided.For most stacking situations, you will be better off using the D850 focus shift facility to focus by turning the focusing ring rather than using a focusing rail. The rail comes into its own when stacking small objects about the size of a raisin or smaller. For really small objects such as small insects a motorized rail such as the Stackshot or WeMacro is invaluable.
