Very nice.
Nice on Brian. I'm sure a man with your new-found PP skills could easily clone out the annoying OOF bit.
That bug could always get a daytime job as a port-hand channel marker..

Awesome image and fantastic work. A very well done.
I suppose, in theory, it would be possible to cut a bit out from the sharply focused area of stem then with a bit of fiddling, paste it into the out of focus area. But a lot of work to get it looking perfect.
Some pair of eyes, great shot Brian.
