>>4329359Tripod + focus stack
>>4329359Focus stacking starting at the closest point. Tripod is helpful, but completely doable hand-held depending on your lack of Parkinsons and/or IBIS.Composition seems alright. Aperture could be stopped down from the looks of it but I'm purely guessing since you have no exif data. If your lens is sharp wide-open (lots aren't), then focus stacking overcomes that DOF limitation, otherwise go wide then stop down a full stop and that normally reigns in shitty optics. Actually, the more I look, the more I can't tell if the corners of your lens are giving out horrid CA, or that's just the rock colours.
>>4329359Looks pretty healthy, but consider adding some fertiliser for better growth
>>4329359Water it down
give it some sneed's feed and seed
>>4329359Work on understanding focal distances and aperture values and how they affect the focus window, Although focus stacking like >>4329360and >>4330016 mentioned, you can also get more of the subject in focus by changing your distance or aperture.Pic rel is a good demonstration[EXIF data available.
