 This is a composite of 3 exposures for maximum DOF.
I used Helicon Focus to combine the exposures. Some manual tweaking was necessary.
2 flash lights: one directly into the flower, onc bounced against an umbrella to illuminate the underside of the flower.

Take out made of one exposure

I like the tonal contrast used...but I'm not sure about the perspective. Little too much with the water drops too. 4.
