Flower in white

[flavio]

Usually you find this kind of flowers indoors, either domesticated or in floral arrangements. This one is wild. It grows with its twin in an unexpected spot.
It is a relatively large flower and I couldn't resist taking a macro shot. To my surprise the DOP is such that both the front and the back came out blurred. I kina like it but "Is that OK?"
Thanks in advance for your comments,

Hi Flavio and welcome to the forum. The reason you have a shallow depth of field is because you chose f/4.0 for an aperature setting. A larger number would have given you more DOF. As far as if that is OK or not is totally up to you and what you wanted to portray in your shot. There are parts of the white petal that are blown out because of too much light. If you wanted to keep the same DOF then you could increase the shutter speed to control that. Hope that helps.

I see your point. Thanks for the advice. I'll try that if the flower is still holding up.
