Here are two exposures of the same tansy flower, one at f16, one at f4. Slide the bar left and right to compare how the depth of field changes. This was shot with the Sony RX-10-V5 at 600mm equiv, close to minimum focus distance.

By the way, I actually don’t have a strong preference between these two looks; I like them both. Sometimes it matters a lot more.

I often bracket from fully open to fully closed aperture because I find that I can only judge the best result later on a big screen.

What I wish: that the camera could auto-bracket from f4 to f16 in a split second, rather than me clumsily changing the setting between shots. I have never heard of any camera that will bracket aperture while holding overall exposure steady.
