Shedding Some Light on the Subject

I like the idea of a subject lit and leaving the background totally dark. The shadows here make the shot seem a little busy. The DOF also seems to be really shallow, so only some of the petals are in focus. I would actually prefer this type of shot to have deeper DOF so the whole flower is in focus since blurring the background makes no difference because it is black.
