Saw a bunch of goldenrod & asters along the road side. I had a feeling I did not get the goldenrod in focus, but obviously, I didn't. I really need to get a good understanding of how to work the aperature to get the depth of field I want.

Your photo would have demonstrated the effects of complementary colour contrast if you had changed your angle to show the violet flower in the middle against the goldenrod, and then cropped tightly to show just the violet and the yellow colours.
In order to pull off a shot like these you really need to knock that background out of focus. Needed to be much closer to the subject and use as wide an aperture as you can.
As it is, I find the background way to busy and the floweres just dont stand out enough 2/10
good complements and DOF. I find myself thinking that I might like it better without the sky. Did you take any shots from closer up and at a downward angle?
Nice colour combinaton of flowers, but the background is a bit too fussy. Maybe a tighter crop or different angle so the purple and yellow were in contact and the background was more insignificant
