A closer view would be better so as to remove distracting in the background.

You need closeup filter to assist you to take closer.

Have you google it????

Its a filter, like magnifying glass, that enlarges the image. The focal point is fixed, depending on the dioptre. The formula is in the link above.

Do note that there are good and bad CU filters....and is proportional to the price. Get those double elements or more for good quality.
