Jeff, that is a really nice scene you have fashioned. Have you considered backing the camera away from the engine maybe about three feet, and then taking an image that way? Try to get it to focus on the ball diamond depth and see if it improves the general depth of focus for you.

I have been playing with my camera's settings and have found that backing it away from the item a bit, and also setting the focus for maximum length (f8 on mine), and using both a tripod and the shutter timer with aperture compensation, it works quite well.

As it is, the image is nice, and I like the effect you have created. Nice job.

If I back up three feet I'll be outside. I'm still experimenting with camera. For now I don't want to mess up what I have.

Nice playground Jeff

Can't you try to hide that AC with some wire mesh and put (stick / glue)lichen on it so it looks like a mountain with trees, and you would also not close its in and out vents with mesh!!!! in these photos I cannot exactly see how much in it is, in the scenery, but I think there's always a method to conceal it without losing its chilling effect

I tried hiding it once and got accused of being a rivet counter.
