You've seen Bill's lovely flower; from me you get dead leaves.
Bill did adjustments to his 16 images in Camera Raw and then sent
them to Photoshop to merge layers. I sent my 10 images to Helicon
Focus, then did adjustments on the output merged image. (Using LR4)
Bill used a bellows and 100mm macro. I used the 35mm macro. Bill's
subject had a clear three-dimensional quality to it. My subject
probably has about the same depth but the gradations from near to far
are a bit more subtle.
I used Liveview and focus peaking to do the successive image slices
through the subject and I believe Bill did the same.
So, what you see here is not in any sense a replication of Bill's
work, but rather an independent totally different example of this
focus stacking business.
I uploaded 4 images:
First, a 6016x4000 image downsized to 2400xwhatever. This is the full
stack of 10 images. Full Stack:

Next, the "best" single image from the series, same dimensions as
above. Single image:

Next a 1-to-1 crop of the stacked image: 1024x735 portion of full
stack: http://photos.stanhalpin.com/p155717848/e2015d44d
And then a 1311x1017 1-to-1 crop of the single image. 1311x1017
portion of single image:

Note that once you've followed the first link, click on the image for
a larger view. From there, a right-arrows takes you to the next,
left-arow brings you back etc. so you can do comparisons more
easily. Also note that I applied the same adjustments to the single
image that I had previously arrived at for the stacked image.

Apparently I have some work to do. That's fabulous.
