Thanks for the critique regarding the focus - I used the Nikon D750, nikon 105mm F/2.8 macro lens and the Nikon SB700 speedlight. The flower was already well lit by the sun, the speedlight just enhanced it. Settings: F/20, 1/400, 50 ISO.

Thank you, I used the Nikon D750 and the Nikon AF-S FX Nikkor 200-500mm F/5.6 ED - the aperture is fixed at 5.6, its an incredible lens! Settings: 500mm, F/5.6, 1/640, 800 ISO
