I have been teaching myself photo stacking to create a better depth of field within my photos.
I have used both Macro and Simulated Macro lens's with both having a limited depth of focus.
I used a Standard 18 - 55mm canon lens (that cheap and nasty one you get free with the camera) and took 9 different focused shots of the flower and with the Photo Stack option in Photoshop stacked them to create an even focused shot of the flower.
I always use this method when ever I can now (except non static objects) with 100% results every time.
The benifit of doing this is: No more long shutter speeds and No More F11, F16, F22 etc... just normal speeds at F2.8 - F5.6.

Your resulting image rendition is "fantastic," with lovely color, tones, & soft detail(and depth). I would have placed the center flower column more "asymmetrically," with the design of thirds, in mind. Great work with the 400D. Regards...LEx
