 Would be better if exactly symmetrical, I guess. Some won't like the grain, some will. Let's see.

USM, crop, Resize, USM, curves, reduce saturation.

I don't know if that is noise or effect that you have added, but I feel it really detracts from this image. This would work much better with a nice sharp shot with a clean background.

Good shallow DOF. It's phillips, straight and torx drivers. It meets the challenge. However it is very noisy; is it very high ISO? I don't see any reason for that. Maybe some Noise Ninja or something would make it much better.

backround appears to be noisy and the white blob is distracting, interesting DOF

extreme macros like this are like little puzzles for our eyes - the grain only accentuates the sense of mystery
