And the aperture is f36! I've thought about stacking, and probably
should given the overwhelming majority of my subject matter doesn't
move. This might be a good approach with composites using fewer
pictures. Not sure sure what it is, maybe someone could explain the
physics to me. But these macro composites hate tripods...the images
won't align...probably why focus consistency is an issue here. I
understand that more successful panoramic images have a very particular
point of rotation that is likely to be ahead of the tripod mount. But if
I'm shooting macro, I need vertical pivot as well...maybe I'm wrong?
Perhaps, at this scale (1:2 - 1:3 as an estimate), I'm able to get away
with slightly raising the camera vertically and pivoting less. Could
this reduce distortion that prevents image alignment?

is a perfect example of one composed using a tripod. None of these
pictures aligned, so I did it manually. Bracketing the focus would have
been a tremendous plus here as I could have gotten the feet, tail, and
head a lot sharper. I thought it came out well, but now I'm getting some
better perspective.

Trevor why are you limited by dof? Changing the plan of focus would
solve that problem. You can also do focus brackets I'd the previous
isn't an option

No need to qualify at all! My approach to these images is that,
maybe someday, I'll print them full size. having patches of poor
exposure is not an option. I am limited with DoF given they are
all macro images. It's a testament to the challenge with the
pictures. Thanks for the feedback, I'll look into it!

Hylocereus Study:
Fascinating subject composition. But again, and I am tired of
this, the subject is not in focus!!!! This subject suggests
that many topics were used to create the final addition.
Multiple frames layered one onto the other which can create
some amazing images, but especially in sharpening. In
Astronomy, it is the technique commonly used to gain more
sharpness of a planet or moon. Thousands of images are stacked
to create one very sharp image.
I do like the image.
To qualify, I am using a 45in HD monitor. If all of these
subjects are indeed sharp to everyone else, then I apologize.
But my monitor does render a lot of these images as too soft
for qualification.
But not all of them.
