My point was that you did not have to do that in the mushroom 
image.

The fstop on the RBT Macro is a fixed hole drilled in the 
aperture block. Because it is on a bellows the actual fstop 
ranges from about f32 to f90. The ladybug image is probably 
closer to f90 - would be hard to get a smaller aperture.

As I said in my original post, this is a bad image and not one 
I would usually share. I normally am pretty good at not having 
any distracting background *{;-)
