I took this shot at f/8, which is as far as my camera could go for maximum depth of focus.
The depth of focus was about 1mm and surface was just too bumpy to capture completely in focus, but I angled the camera to be as perpendicular to the surface as possible so there is stuff in focus in at least 3 corners. The image came out with a white glare from flash reflections, but I wrote an automated program to stretch the histogram down to 0 to make the colors saturated again. I guess I should have used an unsharp mask after resizing the image though.

Nice shot Dylan, this does seem a bit soft, but I like what you're going for, love the contrast in colours and textures though.

Seems to be resized as this measures around 105kb according to my browser

This looks a little soft to me Dylan, but I like the composition. Wish is was a little closer. This image is over the size limit and should be resized. jano
