A white /yellow flower-
70-300 IS iso 100 @ 300mm F8, 0.3
In spite of f8 all the leaves are not in focus- maybe i should have gone to f 11?
Thanks for looking and comments given

It actually looks a tad bit overexposed _ as the white detail seems lost somewhat. Move in closer and zoom out wider to maybe increase DOF + if on a tripod turn the IS off. 0.3 seconds is rather slow.

Agreed, I like the shot, but it does look a little overexposed for my taste; I would darken it a bit in PP.

I'll defer to the more experienced, but I believe shooting at full telephoto is probably a big contributor to the lack of depth of field. A wide angle lens stopped down and shot closer may help.

Sungrazer is right on the DOF issue (though you could also just shoot at the wide end of your 70-300 zoom rather than at 300mm.)
But I disagree on the exposure issue. I don't think it's over-exposed: I think it lacks contrast. Pump up a little contrast and you're good to go. ;)

Thanks guys for all comments and suggestions. I will shoot at wide angle and move closer to increase DOF and post again
Peter, thanks for looking. will use custom functions to inc contrast
