At a 30k file size, JPEG compression is the major thing that is taking away sharpness and clarity from this image. Always use the least compression you can get away with and still come in under the challenge limit. You had 10 times the file size to play with then what you used. If you were to try a re-edit, I think it will make a noticeable difference.

Too much compression caused details to be lost. And a bit OOF.

This may be decent DOF for a macro shot, but it isn't really DEEP DOF imo.
