Tabletop lenticular experiment: followup

I just received the four 5x7 prints I had Imagetech make of a tabletop
lenticular setup of Captain Nemo in a diving suit, surrounded by undersea
plants. (POV is near the sea floor, looking up at Nemo).

They came out far better than I'd ever expected-- they look like
commercial shots, and only using 3 image construction.

Apparently there is a lot of latitude in the printing process, because I
tripled the recommended camera motion settings to increase the illusion of
depth, and it worked, and without introducing an excessive tendency for
image "flip". (I used 6.9mm instead of the recommended 2.3mm for this
specific setup-- e.g. lens fl, distance of foreground, subject, and
background).  The extremes are the same as for a 7 image lenticular, in
other words. There's a very slight extension of a foreground plant beyond
the window, but it isn't objectionable.
