Then you might consider F11 or 16. Remember though your focus looked off in the second photo.

Thanks for the advice. I think the focus point was wrong. I'll reshoot the shot paying more attention to DOF and focus point.

Fine work, although I think the shallow DOF in the artificial flowers shot works much better in creating a soft but linked background. In the real flower shot the interest of many subjects is lacking because only the prime subject is in focus.

But dosen't having only the prime subject in focus force the viewers attention on it?

Yes, it does However, the compositional principle is "unity with variety." In other words the background and the foreground should have similarities, while still creating a center of interest.

I thought the background flowers and foreground flowers provide that similarity?

Thinking of focus in this case.
