[QUOTE="nickt, post: 570618, member: 4923"] I would use back button focus with single point. If you are not familiar it is just using the ae/af lock button to auto focus. Hold the button and it focuses. Release it and it stops focusing and you can recompose. Its like computer assisted manual focus. Also, try your onboard flash to get a higher f stop. You should be able to grab focus anywhere you choose, recompose and have enough depth of field to get both flowers sharp. Don't be afraid to step back and crop, you have a lot of pixels there to crop some out. The extra depth of field and the flash will make up for body movements so you don't have to hold so still. Here's a quick try of what I am suggesting. I tried to find similar size flowers. I'm still learning myself, so I take any chance to practice. Raining here, so low light with onboard flash as described above. Shot in raw, iso 320, f20 and I stepped back a bit for even more depth of field as well. I focused on the rear of the front flower.
