Palouse Bouquet Painting

Borrowing the technique of image stacking I used 3 images in layers, then blended. I should say that my goal with the stacking was NOT to achieve increased dof or sharpness; I wanted to add flower elements that were there but affected differently on each shot by the wind. After blending I applied the PSCS3 watercolor filter.

Conditions at the time of the shots were sunny and breezy. D200, 24-120 @ 33 mm on tripod; f 4.5, 1/640, ISO 250.

What do you think of this first try at my version of "stacking?" Does it need more filtering to achieve the painting look? Or does it look like only so much smoosh? There wasn't much method to this madness.

Thanks for your thoughts.
