Larry, I like the first - the others are almost there or not so
interesting, for me. The first could have still less DOF, or perhaps a
different point of view to avoid the bright spot on the left.
Wind and background are my worst problems with macro. As I live near the
sea, the wind is very strong almost everywhere, all the time.

Last week I took a break from work to try to shoot some blossoms. It
was too windy to get those shots, but in the process, I got some shots
of a snail on the truck of a tree:

Which feel like "near misses" to me. I wasn't going to post them for
not being up to the quality of shots posted here, but as such, they're
probably a better opportunity for me to learn.
I know that one thing I could have done to make them better is not to
try to shoot something that is both in sun and open shade. I tried
going back a day or two later, but the snail had moved. Don't you hate
fidgety models?
In addition to the obvious of lighting, what else should I have done
differently? Used a tripod so I could get enough DOF in the shade? Is
there a rule of thumb for setting up the plane of focus?
Or did I just not choose a workable subject.
If you don't want to scan the whole series, perhaps the nearest miss
is:
