Cropped, sharpened
USM14, and the dark zones darkened more, with FastStone Image Viewer.
Hand held.

A pretty flower, with lovely colours, well captured.

As usual, my personal preference would be for less diffuse, indirect light. A brassier approach to rose photography, bright yellow in direct, midday sun. <http://zone-10.com/tope2/main.php?g2_itemId=20049>

Were you using a telephoto lens at a moderate distance?  That's usually how 
you're able to get flowers such as that in focus entirely.

Eagle Eye says:
FL 32 mm, according to the EXIF, 64 mm FF eq.
Closest and furthest petals are less in focus than the middle.
None of it particularly sharp; center quite soft.

DoF is a complicated business. But mostly, if focal distance and focal length are such that the image size on the sensor/film is the same, it's ruled by aperture. The above yellow rose, although taken at over 12x the FL, has slightly better focal depth because it was shot at F11 vs. f8.

What if the Hokey Pokey *IS* what it's all about?
