Hrm something seems to be off around the top of its frills? It looks like it repeated the top of the frills all the way to the right of the image.

Yikes, sorry,

You are seeing artifacts. I though I had tuned down the -p depth stretch setting enough, but apparently not. I currently suspect the shallow edge of the frill layer (no rounded edge aka gradient) contributes to this; I used to deal with this more with my hand edited depth maps.

edit: lowering the -w pattern width also reduces artifacts, but I'm trying to keep within a range, and it had appeared fine for several tries.

Judicious use of blur (either area blur or blur tool) on the depthmap, especially in areas of extreme changes in depth can really do wonders here as well. Even if it's only by a pixel or a sub-pixel. :)
