Cladonia lichen

[AL65]

Hi all following on from the macro id thread for the Cladonia lichen that I found I went a bit mad and put a raynox and extension tubes on my macro to see how close I could get and with some focus stacking I came up with this,
image is about 14mm tall.

Looking on my phone atm, this looks very nice, good light to the back of the lichen and it's clean/crisp looking too. Worth putting the tubes and raynox on.
All handheld?
