I believe a portrait orientation for these particular buds would need
an entirely different composition

Bulent, what I was referring to was a portrait orientation/crop of the existing image, including all of the in focus buds and only as much of the OOF buds as needed to complete the portrait.

Marco, Bruce, Dan, Frank, Jack, Ken,

Thank you all for visiting and commenting; much appreciated.

Dan,
I am no expert in naming flowers.
All I can say is that these were among others (with same type of
leaves) with opened up petals.
They have all been labelled as primroses at the market.
By the way, I seem to have a lack of enough "color memories" from my
earlier years to enliven the present grayness...
Or, I need drugs ;)

Jack,
it's not always a mistake to place the main element in the dead center.
I agree.
At my first attempt at cropping this one, I have tried to put the
center of interest to lover left.
It did not "work".
This did (for me)!

Ken,
I also wish that the lover buds were in focus.
The aperture value was f/16.
I believe a portrait orientation for these particular buds would need
an entirely different composition from the beginning (including the
position of the lights, perhaps).

I like your B+W presentation, but am bothered by the 'dead space' in the top
and RH side and the lack of sharpness in the lower buds.

I believe a portrait orientation of the two sharp buds, cropping out some of
the OOF buds would 'save' the image.

YMMV

In monochrome.

Because, life is.
