50mm Macro on an extremely overcast day, this was about an eight of a second with an aperture of 5.6.

A misty overcast day, with not much light to spare.

 

I selected DOF to ensure that the frontmost flower was sharp, as well as the

one on top that's closed. This left the two background flowers slightly out of

focus.

 

I like this, but I'm interested in other's thoughts. Less DOF? More? Why?

DOF is fine, but a crop with some color balance and curve adjustments might help. Attached is a quick PhotoShop to illustrate some ways to get the in focus flower to stand out a bit more.

I like the cropped version much better; I found the blossoms along the top edge of the original rather distracting. DOF looks good to me.
