The above image of a back-lit oyster shell was a CombineZP merge of four photos using different focus points. A Nik plugin (Duplex) was used within CS2 to produce the overall tone.

This second image was also a CombineZP merge though there was a bit of fill flash as well as the back lighting and the colors are natural.
