focusstacking Sunflowerfield

My first trial of focus stacking. On the way to this image I tested several programs which should do focus stacking automaticly. But the results have been quite pure. I have tried ale (a linux shell program), Hugin and CombinZM which had produced the best results. May be my image was rather heavy stuff.

I implemented this image with a conventional layer mask technique with GIMP 2.6.6 which is much simpler to handle than Photoshop. The stack contains two photos. The background image is the one you find under autum_sunflowerfield_01.

I shot the images with a Nikon D80 and a AF NIKKOR 35-70 mm 1:2,8 D lens on a tripot. Exposure: 1/40 sec, Diaphragm: f/22.0.
