Bjornar great stacking result... sharp as a knife without any visible halos! Really good.
The subject itself is not really interesting so I focus on the technique which is really good.

Thanks for your kind words. I use Photoshop for the aligning and blending process. In most cases I avoid halos that way. Better than using the in-camera process. If I still get halos, they can easily be brushed away.

I tried it too with PS, but it fails for complex situations with overlapping levels like a leaf above a bug.
Working with a mask for 100 pictures is not really funny. So I decided to render my stacks in Helicon Focus with all three versions (A, B and C). Afterwards I load all three rendered stacks again in Helicon and combine all advantages of each stack to one picture. At the end I use PS for fine tuning... high ass sharpening, highlight / shadows, noise reduction, maybe Orton effect and so on.

Not convinced by texture and color
Texture looks like plastic
