I'm glad you failed to exclude it from some.
I was also partially limited by the lens and I didn't have enough time to change it as the light was going fast and this fall was a fortuitous find close to the road.
The nice thing about shooting at F16 is that I'm impressed by how well it sharpened (within reasonable expectations of course) and the DOF is very good, only the very near foreground in the corner and the distant 4/5 background are not similarly sharp as the rest of the shot.
The bad part is that my sensor is really dirty, much more obvious on that sky and the B&W shot.
