Storytelling Flower Shot...eh

After looking at yesterday's photo, and some from last week, I decided to try something different. I wanted to show a close up of the flower, but still show some details of the scenic background. Kind of like, "I'm a pretty flower and this is where I live." I used one of my new close-up filters that I got for Christmas to accomplish this. It sorta worked, but I think there is too much detail in the background so the flower isn't really isolated enough. Next time I need to use a more open aperture.
