Sharp as a brass tack!

A bit of macro and focus stacking...

Love the stack, Charlie, but it's a bit low-key for my taste. How many frames did you stack?

about 14 shots... they were about an inch apart. Only about a half an inch long too! I kept the contrast high. but checked the range with the curves tool... and set the whites to 255. The color one isn't bad.. just liked this one better...

The specular highlights are a bit much IMO. Otherwise an interesting shot.

Thank you... I may have overdone it a hair!

Very unique and creative shot , the only thing drawing my attention away from from the tacts, is there is a bit of speckles and grain/noise in the background. I would smooth the background a bit and tone down the highlights.
