Marnie, This is a good shot. I liked the DOF as shot. The composition puts the main pedal and 'catepillar' in focus and the distant pedal out. I like it that way and think putting the distant pedal into sharp focus would be a distraction to the main subject. In Iris and Orchid shots, I always have problems finding a place to put the rest of the flower. You worked it out very well. Regards, Bob S.
