I like the concept very much and I like the out of focus line of trees in the background. What f/stop did you shoot at? I think I might prefer a somewhat wider DOF to bring the thistles (?) in. The tones are nicely mysterious, too.

Thanks, David. I took it wide open at f4. If I go back (it's only half a mile from the house), I'll try to get a few shots stopped down a bit.

I liked the tones as well; they're pretty much OOC.

I like the tonalities.
I would also like to see some taken stopped down a bit, especially if you can get essentially identical light conditions.

I've been back a few times to try focus stacking but I've not managed to re-create the light or the tonality, sadly, so I've resorted to a bit of burning. I think it's an improvement.

I agree. Necessity is the mother of invention. Not sure I would have thought of your solution, but then what's the point of this part of the forum. I'm glad you didn't give up on it. Well done!

That is an improvement.

I can't imagine focus-stacking that kind of subject, unless you have an absolutely windless day.
