Needs to be 64x larger. The car, not necessarily the photo.

When I see a photo of a car I really want to see the entire car in focus. I assume that this is a model car but it still needs to have much more DOF.

I'm in the "I want to see the entire car in focus" camp as well, but when you cut something like this with thin DoF then I want the thing that's in focus to really grab and hold my attention, and there's nothing here that does - it's just the front of the car. If there was something particularly interesting on the grill or front fender then it might work, but as is it doesn't. At least for me.

With Jake and Don on this... prefer a focus car....

Cheers guys, I wasn't real sure about the thin focus on the car and actually have another thats a smaller aperture but I have cut the backend of the car off.

​This was shot at f/54

Yep, definitely need to adjust DoF so the whole car is in focus. Is that the 90mm macro lens? You've already got the aperture jacked up unnecessarily high (f/18-f/22 should be plenty), so adjust the distance from the lens to the car.

I think I will experiment with focus stacking when I get home next week.
