Very nice stack, Saul. Great lighting and detail.

Nice but the transition from sharp to very out of focus is, at least to me, somewhat distracting. Rik and others have sometimes suggested using an iris and shooting a final frame with the iris closed down somewhat, to make a more gradual change from sharp to not sharp. I think such an image would look more natural.
Lou, thank you for your comment !Lou Jost wrote:...using an iris and shooting a final frame with the iris closed down...
Yes, I do have iris in my lens assemblies:

and, depending on the situation, I'm using PS for the same purpose .

Sometimes I'm applying different levels of the blur on the different layers and masking the edge of the sharp/not sharp
Good example is :
