Brian,
Has just enough in focus to give 3-d effect.
Without the blurred beasty it would be quite a nice floral shot.
Hi Dan,
Have you seen this thread?
This tropical wildflower is @ 1/2 cm petal tip to petal tip.

I was concentrating on the flower in quickly changing light using F/14 to try to get a decent DoF. At 1/30 sec it was a shade dark. The bee was an unexpected bonus. To get the bee to appear stationary would have required a much faster shutter.
the above is posted with the understanding that my theoretical understanding is minimal.
Like you my theoretical understanding is minimal.
But we still have fun.
