Remember your depth of field is 1 in front to 2 to the back.in other words if your for ground is in focus 3 inches from your focal point, your background will be 6 inches from your focal point.

Maybe post the actual photo rather than (what looks to me to be) a screen capture from PP on your 'puter?
Here it is , I post the first one like that because I could not do the transfer for some reason from NX2 to the page ,and I like to show were the focus point was
Thanks for your advice

You can see the focus point , but everything else around is fuzzy , what I'm doing wrong ?
I don't understand why you didn't post the entire picture and then click on "store original" then shutter speed and all would show. I will try to look this up. f 3.5 is a wide open aperture and DOF (depth of field) is very shallow. David Your first post shows F 3.5 the second one f 22?

This is why I posted it the screen shot who show the focus point right in the center , not been able to transfer the picture from Nikon NX to the page

I think that on the second post, many things were in-focus, and many things were out of focus. That made it difficult for me to appreciate the over-all image. A very narrow depth of field for an image with DEPTH.. Drops could have been in focus, petals edges could have been in focus, as well as the stapies of the flowers. So there was a number of levels of in. AND out of focus. Use the Big numbers. F 22, F 16, or better, for such shots. Though I admit, that makes it tougher for Hand-held. RJM SEE!! I had the same problem

How do you pull-up all this data on a picture?? I know the info is. Buried in there some-where, but how does one see it?? RJM
I don't have a nikon.I have a canon.next to the menu button is another button called info button.once I see the picture I hit it once I can see the f stop and speed that shot was taken at, hit it again and I'll see the graft of the picture plus I so and date.hit it again and I'll see the graft of my colors, red, green, and blue.you get the message
But, what I'm asking is...how do others, on the Hogg for example, access this information, on MY photos???
Increase your F-stop. to clear the fuzziness of the petals.
Also have a look at image stacking on the net. I have had reasonable success by tripod mounting the camera and then taking several shots focused on different points and then stack them to effectively increase your dof
