You can play this (focus) many ways and it just means there are many ways to play this. I made my choice and I'd like to see your choice as well. I felt that the most information about this flower was on the petals with the pollen.

Nice colours and light. However... I would have opted for a slightly wider DOF to bring at least the three "structured" petals with the pollen completely in focus.

Maybe a focus-stacked set of images taken at the same aperture would capture the entire flower in focus with the same out-of-focus background? The main difficulty with a focus stack is capturing each image in non-breezy conditions... "Fat, drunk and stupid is no way to go through life, son". - Dean Wormer

You could still have had the pollen and foreground petals in focus at the same time, no? you're a great friend, but if Zombies chase us, I am tripping you.
