Very nice well saturated shot with good DoF; would it look better with a 'squre' crop?(y)

Its just getting used to it last year I had a 70-300mm for my macro shots so am going to enjoy this baby
 
Not sure it's OOF... I'm seeing pixelation along the diagonals which is definately messing up the image and making it very hard to tell. The colours are good and strong.
 
To be honest I am not seeing anything good here ....more practise is needed with this setup so, come on Eileen lol ....oops she will kill me or deprive me;):crying::crying:

Try and find a flower that isn't damaged round the edges. Spray some water on it.

Use a small aperture and get some light on it - f16 or smaller so that you get plenty depth of field.

I should have added you will probably need a steady tripod too. Not for camera shake but if you move, the focus moves (even at f16 dof is pretty limited whjen you are close).
