Yes Gareth........

If you were to take 3 or 4 shots at the f4, which you used here & focus-stacked them using Combine ZP, you'd have to be careful not to cut yourself on that glass.
Have a go, it's free & it really is v. good!

Nicely done. The highlights on the glass make it for me.

It's a slippery slope...

Sorry, Gareth, meant f9..... not f4!

True, but at least all of the slope will be sharp............

(Other stacking software is available.)

Thanks all, yes that DOF! We were only allowed to use one light and shoot one file per image with no Photoshopping so it had to be what it is! But, I think I will reshoot and focus stack it for my own 'collection' of images
