We finally had a few inches of snow, so I took the opportunity to get out and capture a few photos. I spent most of my time looking for an interesting snow structure on goldenrod / iron weed. I final found goldenrod with snow hanging down, but as lock would have it, the snow I was interested in fell halfway through my stack. So, I started looking for simpler things to photograph.
Of the photos taken, I like this one the best.

Specific Feedback and Self-Critique
I used ETTR and I think the color of the snow looks okay. What do you think?
I wish the snow had more structure. The light was flat and so was the snow on the ground. I don’t know if stopping down would have helped. What has been your experience?
I shot a 11 photo stack. There was just a breath of air though and I wasn’t able to get a decent stacked photo out of Zerene. Probably because it’s new to me and I have taken the time to fully learn how to use it.
Because it’s very simple photo, I was able manually combine the sharpest parts of all the photos into one. I was curious of anyone had ever done his before. I know that it would be impossible to do with a more complex photo. It isn’t perfect, but how did I do?
The other thing you should know is that the photo shown has been rotated 90°. The subject is actually horizontal to the ground. I think the portrait presentation is easier for folks to relate to.
Of course, all feedback is welcomed.
