Doubling D doubles both the size of the blob component and the distance 
between the blob and the camera.  A object of radius R at distance D will 
appear to be the same radius as an object of radius R*2 at distance D*2.  
The image should look the same for any value of D.

Try it with a non-blob sphere if you don't believe me.
