Wow! Statdawg your first shot is awesome. I'm not certain I'm gonna post this week, but dang you set the bar high! 
Very nice use of an inventive technique with excellent composition and subject.
Your second post is 
too, but I would have quit with the first one.

I like that one quite a bit. It makes me feel like I'm getting ready to go greet visiting riders, which is always a treat.

I think you focus on the exact item you want to show most clearly. I think of the shot as a series of stacked planes, one of which I can choose to be in focus.
You can expand or contract the thickness of the plane that's in focus by altering the aperture.

Another great shot Voni! I really liked your post last week, too (very creative and meaningful--with gorgeous lighting). I don't want to steal Tom's thunder, but this week's effort had potential for some technical difficulties, but you avoided them nicely. What a great captured moment.

This one feels kind of underexposed and I'm not too psyched about the background. It did get the depth of field pretty well, though.
Tom, thanks for encouraging work with DoF. It made me finally get out the manual for my camera and start playing with the A program.
I think your exposure is very close to being "right" (only a fraction of a stop under exposed). Years ago I took garden photography courses at a major horticultural facility (Longwood Gardens) and one of the things they stressed in composition is the flower (or other horticultural subject) is clearly the focal point of the frame, but back- and foregrounds* have diminished many otherwise great garden shots. Unless you intended it to be there, I wouldn't worry about it. Also every camera composed shot deserves a good cropping, and your's would take on a whole new look with a little perimeter clipping.
*Which is true of most compositions. There's an old adage "Check your corners," that means before you press the shutter look in the upper righthand corner, lower righthand corner, upper lefthand corner, lower lefthand corner of the frame. If you see something you don't want in a print, move your shooting position or zoom in.
