Not really in these. I think the stacks are going too deep and
flattening out the subject just a touch. The subject is set in the
background instead of in front of it. This is the opposite of what I
was saying your photographs are like. :)  Oh well... On these, the
flowers themselves are lacking a bit of texture and clarity.

In painting with oils or acrylics, we paint from back to front. The
subject is literally painted on top of the background. When I was
learning how to paint, I was doing this backwards and the subject did
a "Homer Simpson" and backed into the bushes.

A couple days ago, I posted several pictures (on FB) of a flower
arrangement with a Christmas Tree in the background. What I didn't
mention, nor really present the pictures where the scene almost
inverted. While I could manipulate dimensionality into the images,
there were some where this came naturally and required no adjustment
to bring to life. Honestly, the 28/2 and 50/1.4 images were actually
kind of flat and the flowers lacked dimensionality. They got sucked
into the picture. The 35-80/2.8 was remarkable and the flowers almost
leap through the monitor. The 35/2 is MUCH more dimensional than the
28/2 and 50/1.4. Of the digital lenses on the GX-85, the Lumix 45-150
was flat, the 50-200 SWD was world-class dimensional, and the lowly
Lumix G 25/1.7 stole the show. Interestingly, the 100/2 actually was
quite confusing because the flowers themselves had the classic 3D pop,
but the background overwhelmed them and created a slight tunnel effect
where the flowers moved backwards into the scene.
