DoF — like many other options — is used to capture a subject
so that it will contribute positively to the viewing pleasure of a
picture. Like the other options, it should be used with taste so
to get the better results.

In this posted case, it is (IMO) insufficient to document the flo-
wer and that leaves me with artistic intent — which is totally
subjective. This image is not working for me exactly for its DoF
in this composition. Everything else is more pleasurable.

Light is free… capturing it is not!

However, as a beginner you need to experiment in this way to see how it alters your results :)

Phil has got that right, at the beginning, experimentation is paramount
— along with many other things but take it easy and enjoy the ride! ;P
