Every photographer knows the difficulty of achieving great depth of field when using a telephoto lens. Yet, the restricted angle of view of such a lens is what makes the tele-macro lens the optic of choice for tight flower shots. As I viewed this scene, I wanted three different blossoms in as many planes to be in focus, but was too close to achieve that goal even with the lens stopped all the way down. The solution was to create a composite of three images, each one of which would focus sharply on one of the blossoms.
