I placed a water drop on a green sprout and a Yummy Heaven candy bag behind and this is the result. I also took several pictures and focus stacked them so the entire plant is in focus.

I caught a hoverfly on a pink flower. I used manual focus and focus highlights and took several shots and one came out very good. I forgot to set shutter speed to 1/160 so the edge of its eyes are a bit ghosted.
