0661--nothing seems in sharp focus here, yet nothing is blurry either. How does one get sharp focus in distant shots with lots of texture in them?

Smaller aperture. I should have tightened up the aperture on the tree shot.

0676--same here, only in closer shots.

In this shot, the leaves just behind the apples are in focus. I wanted the front apple to be in focus with everything deeper in the scene getting blurry. I was 3-4 ft away and on the border between macro and normal focus. Tightening the aperture would have helped get more of the scene in focus, but that's not what I wanted.

I really like your pumpkin shot.

Thank you.
