You have nicely demonstrated the narrow DoF associated with macro-photography. A 50-mm lens demands a close working distance. Do you use extension tubes or add-on diopter lenses?

For these I was using various combinations of tubes ... I think that most were with either 36mm or all 68mm of Kenko tubes in place. I was also using a YN568ex in an Fstoppers Flashdisk in order to get the light in close and soft. I tried using my assembly free 24"x24" softbox ... but could not get the angle of light that I wanted. I also used a white reflector opposite the flash on a couple of them.

A very attractive image. The focus is just in the perfect position for my taste.

Here's another from the same set ... different vantage point ... more of the anthers in focus. (also YN568ex 1/4 power - about 6" away in Flashdisk) for this one I'm pretty sure I had 48mm of Kenko tubes in the stack ...
