Move the subject to a more non-descript location OR use the Panasonic 45 2.8 or Olympus 60 2.8 macro to physically get closer to the subject with the lens.

Three things effect depth of field. Focal length, aperture and camera to subject distance.

Use the Panasonic 35-100 2.8 at 100 2.8 and get as close as you can would be the best.
