This fine fellow was perching on a rock by my pond, and his position allowed me to use a tripod, since I wasn't hanging over the water like most of my frog shots!

Post: Selected 5 frames from the series that I had manually varied the focus point, front to back, and then auto aligned and stacked in photoshop. Selective sharpening of the subsequent image
This was my first time trying a stack in photoshop, and it was interesting to see it work. I didn't focus deep enough to give complete sharpness of the far aspects of the frog, but considering I was shooting at f/2.8, at about 10" away, I thought it was encouraging. The reason for the large f/stop was two fold. One, I wanted to try the stack, and two, the background was quite busy.
Advice always appreciated.
Cheers
Randy
