Jostein, It doesn't bother me that the background peppercorns are much less sharp than the foreground one.
What bothers me about the focus is the abrupt transition in the surface the peppercorns are resting on, from textured to softly smooth. It's as though a guy with sandpaper said "Ah, screw it" and walked off when he was just behind the front peppercorn. I've never done focus stacking and I have no idea how to avoid, or correct, that problem!
