That really stands out, Dan - the blue backgournd works well and you 
successfully tamed the light on the white parts of the flower. Nice!

That is a spectacular image, but there is still a lot of discernible
detail in the background.  That does draw some attention from the main
subject of the image, IMO.

out to have too many distractions or >just made the image too complex


One of the advantages of a close focusing telephoto lens is the background 
'bokeh' attainable. An example is here 
http://photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=17814958
It was really brought home to me last June when the vast majority of my 
blooms and bugs shots were with my 300mm f4.5 FA. I had never used it that 
way and was very pleased with the results. It close focuses to a little less 
than 7 feet.

Thanks, Bob.

You are right;  some of the images of this variety against a "natural"
background turned out to have too many distractions or just made tthe
image too complex.
