The bokeh and the flower are great, but i would try to pull out more details from the dark areas of the main objects (flower+insect).
I really like the shot

With the reversed lens stacked you will focus by moving the camera. Of course you can use any combination of lenses (af, manual) but if a stacked lens is an AF design it would be better it an aperature ring or you would have to tape the aperature lever to have it wide open.
I think that stoping your lens to f 8 should be enough and it should also the sharpest aperature to shoot with.
Good luck

To get into macro high magnification photography with pentax, there are 2 quite cheap ways how to do that.
1. To mount a lens reversly on your camera body with a set of extension tubes. You will need a macro revers ring like that 49mm Reverse Reversing Ring Adapter 4 Pentax Body Macro | eBay UK,
then you gona need a set of extension tubes like these Macro Extension Tube for Pentax K K10D K200D K100D K20D | eBay UK
of course you need a lens. To get a magnification between 3x and 2x you will need a lens around 28 to 35 mm and try to get a f/2,8 lens. As the lens will be reversed you dont need a AF lens = chep (you will be focusing with moving the camera to the object, be aware the focusing distance will be realy low.) You have to check the filter diameter of these lens to get a coresponding macro reverse ring. Pentax 28mm Wide Angle Lens | eBay UK
Then you gonna need a flash and a difuser, which you can buy or DIY. Check the setup in this video You Tube |

It will be very practical to have a flash bracket and a flash extension cord.
2. Second option is to get a reversed stacked lens onto another one with a macro reverse adapter 49mm-55mm Male Macro Reverse Coupling Ring Adapter UK | eBay UK
For this you can use your 100 mm lens and stack on another, the magnification ratio is focal length main lens : focal length of reversed stacke lens, for example 100 mm : 50 mm gives you a ration of 2:1
The flash setup is the same as in the first possibility
You will find out that the depth of field with this kind of photography is very shallow, so you will probably try to find out something about focus stacking.
To get great images i would recommend you to get into post processing and to rely on croping. For post process you can use Gimp which is a freeware with many possibilities but is slower than photoshop. I would also recommend you to shoot into raw so you can get as much of your shots as possible

Maybe you are right about the sharpnes and the lens used, but the size of the camera was the issue. And the dp1x gets dslr results in a tiny body (compared to a dslr) of a point and shoot camera, no huge lens or body. I hope pentax would come out with an evil camera, bucause the pancake lens line up of pentax is the best

For WA landscape shots, I would consider sigma dp1x with the foveon sensor. Just search the internet for some shots and make your mind
