Stacking - First Attempt

The other day in class, we were taught how to apply a technique called 'focus stacking' to our macro photography.  Basically, we take a series of photos, only moving the focus a little bit each time, of every plane on the subject.  Then, using Photoshop, we align and stack the photos on top of each other to combine all of the focused areas to create one, almost fully-focused photograph.

This is my first attempt at it, and though it looks pretty cool, it was not what I was looking for as an end result.
