Hi, Zyle! Good shot, maybe a little bit out the focus, Of course tripod is the simple and right solution for macro, but if... Macro mode, manual sets, Lock all settings, including focus...then stop breathing, take the possition of better focus by changing it in small, let hands and body become as statue... and click gentlely... Ok! Best!!! My best wishes, Zyle! Alexey. I like contrast of this shot, colours are excellent too! One more I would erase part of petal in left by cloning in PS, I think composition will not be worse! about passive reflectors, I often use simple sheets of paper, here for lighting the centers of foreground blossoms...
When doing greenhouse photography it is difficult at times to isolate the best part of the specimen from background, in this case other parts of the same plant, even though the rear here is blackened. That's why moving in even closer to your floral subjects is part of the beauty and fun of macro photography. Small background cards are useful and easy to carry. So are small reflectors to fill in details in the shadow areas. That's why a tripod is essential. It allows you to control not only the camera, but frees your hands to control other tools to improve the image quality. Alternatively, if you use image-edit software to "paint/clone" out unwanted details and even fill in light to shadow areas. Happy shooting, photographically!
