I have the same problem trying to capture 3D and staying in focus on everything.

Comment by Gene L.:
Good color and saturation. However, I don't think the composition fully works. No problem cutting off some petals, in fact that can help bring attention to the stamen and anchors the flower to the frame, but cutting off the stamen makes the flower seem incomplete because there is no single part that we can see in it's entirety. Because the petal in the foreground is out of focus, the viewer tends to take this as a visual clue that the petals are not the main subject. I think it would be better composed lower in the frame with the stamen coming up to the top.

Comment by Swashbuckler:
Pretty darn nice, but I'm not crazy about the depth of field issues. The flower is not flat, so is a difficult macro. Not too crazy about the cropping either. 5 Swash
