this is just gonna have to do

sooooooooo... i was challenged by @dkbarnett to do focus stacking for get pushed this week... i really struggle with this technique, and since i rarely see the point of it, i haven't tried to conquer it... however, this week i was determined...

first thing that happened is my computer had a meltdown saying it didn't have enough storage space to do the photoshop smooshing... so i dug out an external drive and started moving things around...

and somehow in the process of doing that i screwed up my lightroom folders and photos saved in PS weren't showing up... i have no clue why... in photoshop they clearly show as being saved in the LR folders, but they are nowhere to be found in LR anywhere...

finally mcgivered things a bit and made it work...

i don't love it... but i have NOT got it in me to try again...

carry on...

(oh - also bokeh for the one week only thing)
@dkbarnett - not quite what i was hoping for but here we are! thanks for the push!

I'm really sorry the challenge was such a challenge for you! However, I really do love what you have come up with. Such clarity in the garlic and a fabulous soft background.
