hehe Anything is easy if you know how to do it :-)

Ann - the "how to put them together afterwards" is the easy part. Let clever software do 
the work. It can be done in Photoshop I am told, or you can buy Helicon Focus which does it for you 
quite nicely. The hard part is getting the worthwhile composition and then the careful sequence of 
focus-plane "slices" across your scene. Patience, skill, good equipment, good technique...

They are all gorgeous to my eye.

It would be nice to learn how to stack - I have same questions as stan - and 
how do you put them together afterwards?

Is there a manual for this?

Nicely done!

I prefer the lighting, the darker (and more out of focus) background in the 
first one, but the other two work as well.

Did you overshoot, and then decide later how many images to combine, how many 
to leave out? Or could you see the DOF effect well enough while shooting?
And are you refocusing the lens or are you instead using a macro rail?

Stack focusing not so much to get more DOF but rather to get a controlled and very 
shallow DOF when the background is close and cluttered... C&C welcome.
