Suggestions for a macro lens for my dahlia shots

Hello. I grow dahlias and during some of our shows we also have photography contests for the growers as part of the show. I shoot with the lens that came with my Canon Rebel but would really like to get a macro lens. Need suggestions please. Would like to stick with Canon but am open to suggestions. Here are a few of my shots with the regular lens

Look at the Tokina 100 macro 2.8. A very good autofocus lens for not much money.

agreed but if he goes for the eye he will lose all that fine body detail.

Correct. No excuses, some could be better.

Shooting from 15', f11 with a 300mm lens the total DOF is less than 6". I'm shooting from a blind and the position is fixed.

Shutter Release

avemal wrote:

On the DSLR you can set a release feature by two ways. When a subject is only in focus the shutter will release & take a picture. Second is you can set it up to take pictures if in focus or not. Some say that this is best so you have a better chance of capturing all moments in view.

Like to get you views & experiences. Many thanks :)

Out of focus images are culls. Focus priority.
