Photography

Pro here. It's fine if everything isn't in focus but then you should commit. Your framing and composition is good here, but indeed the slightly soft mount Fuji is a shame. The "classic" here would've been to open up the aperture, focus on the mountain and let the leaves go blurry. It could've been interesting to reverse the trend and focus on the leaves instead, there's a million pictures of mount Fuji so having it be recognizable in the background but taking a backseat to the leaves could've been interesting. Finally, you could've taken two pictures and stack the focus as you've said, in this case you wouldn't even need to do proper focus stacking, just two photos and a mask in PS.
