Stuff from my backyard.

Canon 5D, 35mm lens @f/5.6, daylight overcast, lens to subject about twelve in.
This is my first attempt at combining HRD and focus stacking. I don't have the original files so I am unable to post the "before" version. I am generally pleased with the result although there are some artifacts resulting from using only fifteen focus steps.
Comments are most welcome.

Thanks Fotowerks. The backyard is mostly weeds, rocks and rusty iron. Junk to some and subject matter to others.

Junk can be beautiful when seen with an artist's eye

Great find, especially after seeing the pix of your backyard, and technique. I would burn in the bright areas of the rock on the top. The diagonal of the nail leads the eye to that rock and then out of the picture. One needs to explore all the nails and surrounding rocks.
What do you do first? Stack the images and then HDR or the other way round? Is it a case of preference rather than one working out better than the other? Same sort of situation as HDR and stitching a panorama I suppose?

Thanks for your comments. I take your point regarding the errant spike, it could have been placed better. I usually process the stack of images in Camera Raw, Photomatrix, Helicon Focus and finish in CS5. No matter how you do the post processing it is very time consuming.
