IO should have said "quite nice" or "very nice." To eliminate a distracting background, I have been using the Quick Selection Tool in PhotoShop to select the flower. Then I use the "Inverse" function under the selection pull-down to reverse it so only the background is selected. Then I use the Burn Tool to darken the background until nothing remains. If there is a stubborn spot or two, the Clone Stamp Tool or the Spot Healing Brush will help eliminate them more quickly.
