You simply must look at this in "Large", or ever better "Original" to see the detail in the centre.

Taken at Dewstow Gardens & Grotto, Caldicot, Monmouthshire with my Olympus 35mm f3.5 Macro lens, which is proving to be a revelation. Manually focused using the live view's ability to zoom in 10x to get really sharp.

Note that this is not cropped or Photoshopped.

Custom made mini aquarium was used to take this picture.

Strobist info: The aquarium is equipped with optical fibers at the bottom and the sides and an external wireless flash (minolta 5600 HSD, optically triggered) provided the light.

You can see the set-up here:
