Okay, so i was misting my moms plants for her and idk i was looking at the plant and i literally completely stopped what i was doing, ran and got my camera Haha
I really liked the setup of the picture and it is right next to the window so alot of sunlight was comming in, so i gave it a shot... im not sure if its a great photo, but i like it, and i really like the idea of pictures like this!
Thanks for looking alot!

I see what caught your eye, but it seems like you missed the focus. You may have been closer than your lenses minimum focus distance. No part of the picture appears to be real sharp. Maybe try to reshoot?

C&C per req:

Well spotted; I've always like this sort of image. You have however just experienced one of the big problems with macro/close-up photography: The ultra-shallow (often as little as 1mm) depth of field. I think this image would be much stronger were more of it in focus. My personal preference is for the foreground to be in focus and for the focus to lessen as your eye moves into the image. This becomes a matter of controlling your point of focus, and knowing exactly what your DoF is at a given distance/aperture. Try inputting your settings into this calculator and by moving your point of focus, obtain greater DoF for your image.

Can you post the exif data? I think you should try shooting with a smaller aperture to get more in focus...

To be honest.. i dont know, haha i know it sounds stupid but i always mess with stuff, my iso and whitebalance i was told would be best on auto now though,

All of these were shot in the f/5-f/5.6 range.

#1 was 5.6, #2 was 5, #3 was 5.6

Only change it if the conditions of the photo and your desired image dictate so.
