[QUOTE="Clovishound, post: 821764, member: 50197"] Well, I thought I had it nailed with the second stack. It had more images, 10 to be exact, and I had good overlap. PS dropped the ball on it, however. I was nearly done editing, concentrating on attempting to remove a distracting edge of a leaf on one corner, when I discovered a real problem. If you look at the leaf behind the legs, there is a section that isn't sharp. I think the issue was that since there was enough distance between the leg and the leaf, the images that had the legs in sharpest focus, also had the leaf outside of DOF. This may have been my issue in previous stacks, that I assumed were just not enough images. It's a shame in this case, as I like this image better than the first, but this issue ruins it. Edited to add: I just went back and looked closer at the first stack, and discovered it has the same issue, although not nearly as obvious. Oh well, it was an interesting exercise, and I learned something about focus stacks. Perhaps different software overcomes this issue.

You can see that there is shallower DOF in this than in the single shot image I posted previously. I do like a nice head on shot.
