quite liked it

The muted colors are refreshing but I'd stop down so we have more
information to look at. All we get is a tantalizing sixtieth of an inch
slice of some of the globs!  Our eye keeps searching for detail and its now
quite sure where to look.
Also its best if the areas which are in focus in macro work be in the
forefront. In front. In the foreground. As our eye goes their first.
To have stuff in the back be soft we expect that. As its in the background
we're less worried about it But having stuff in the front where we look
first look soft is jarring.
Its like there are soft blobs "in the way".
