Ever since reading about diffractions issues at small apertures (f/16 or thereabouts and smaller), I've become interested in this technique of combining multiple shots at large(r) apertures and combining them. With my first attempt (measurbation) in this thread, I was able to push the dof beyond the physical limits of my lens by achieving something smaller than f/64.
Recently, I was able to give it another attempt in the field, while doing some macro work (with a tripod). Below is the result of four images. I wish I had something between layers 3 and 4, but I'm fairly pleased with the result. I know it's a little on the dark side, but that's a result of my raw preview batch process; I'll fix it for my final version.
Thoughts/comments welcome.

Looks like a good job - maybe a touch too abrupt in the transitions on the white to purple areas - but that may be 'real' and not a masking artefact - I can't tell from what you posted.
I was thinking about this last night but considering doing some split focus shots, with say foreground detail, mid layer blur and background focus/ detail, or perhaps a more 2D spatial split focus of bottom third in focus/ middle strip out of focus/ top strip in focus or that sort of thing - depending on where in the image I wanted to place emphasis |

An updated, improved version. More time is required to really flesh out some minor annoyances.
