The flower in the article above has perfectly positioned. But when the flowers are facing sky or positioned in some other angles, and we cant get on top of them to get such parallel positioning to shoot, I think it would be nice to focus on either stamens or other areas. Then at least the petals will not be unevenly focused and in the stamens or the pistil parts are very attractive, they would certainly help. I completely agree.

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 .
