If the two are aligned perfectly, a large depth of field isn’t necessary...i also try to capture flowers in bunch and concentrate more on the background..

I do however have a few problems with it . Since focus is critcle I would like to suggest that the smallest apperature would be the best solition . Even at that you may only have 1/4 in. in focus . As you stated the camera must be on the same plane as your subject . Use of a tripod is mandatory as most shutter speeds will be slow . There is of course no wind to deal , ever :-}) . Also to be kept in mind is the fact of prime focus with your lense . Small f stops may not give the best sharpness . On &on &on Dwight B Good article . I do however have a few problems with it .
