That's cool, it really pops out and has that 3d feel :)
My extreme-macro.co.uk site, a learning site. Your comments and input there would be gratefully appreciated.

Nice picture! It's a good example of how one can use stacking to get "creamy" uncluttered backgrounds which would be much less pleasing if one had used the aperture to get the same depth of field.
I find the idea of that camera quite appealing too, because a few great macro photo's can really make a "slideshow"of one's adventure holiday much more exotic and exciting.

My thanks to you both. Steve, you are quite right that stacking is a good way to blur intrusive backgrounds, with attention to focal length, aperture and foreground to background distances. In this image, a little more help was needed and additional background blur was performed in post.
