Hardwick Wood Focus on Flowers

I spent a morning in Hardwick Wood last week trying to perfect my technique for focus bracketing  using Fuji X100V  i.e. aperture, focus point, number of shots, distance lens moves between shots etc (images 1-4,6 are stacks) . Not sure I am a lot further forward as still a degree of hit and miss as regards the different parameters including light on the subject - the sun made a brief appearance during the second image plus an LED front light. Other images employed shallow depth of field
