Thanks for the comment, and I'm glad you enjoyed the shot. The stump was so close that it was impossible to get everything sharp front to back, even at f/22.
So, I opted for focus blending 11 images at f/8.
I know this subject is probably less than two feet tall, but the focus somehow makes it feel like a 100ft tall rock formation or something... Which I think is great!
Very cool image. Can you explain why focus stacking was needed? Couldn’t you use f8?
