"Large aperture", "small aperture", let's make sure we're talking about the same thing.

To me a "large aperture" means that the opening of the lens is wide, so the f-number is low, like f/2.8. A "small aperture" to me means that the lens opening is small, which translates into an f-stop such as f/16 or f/22 (you may need to start worrying about diffraction at these small apertures, particularly with a high pixel-density sensor).

I do agree, that the posted images tend to be in focus somewhere within the image. If the OP wants more DOF, then he should stop-down his lens.
