I purchased a Canon 28-200 lens for my Digital Rebel today.
I want to Fisherman's Wharf and did some cash bargaining at a camera store. I got the lens listed above for 310.00 an optical doubler and a 72mm UV filter for another 100.00.

I still haven't figured it all out yet but I'm getting closer.

The flower is about the size of my thumb nail.

Your camera really does take some great pictures. Seems like it was totally worth the purchase price. Well I remember the fast one that you pulled on best buy but I still say good for you.
 
How would I open the depth up about a 16th to an 8th inch more? I was shooting on automatic.

Best Buy has gotten so much of my money over the years I don't feel the leas bit guilty. Fact is they ran a sale last week for 10.00 less than what I paid. I couldn't bring my self to go in and ask for a price match.
 
What F stop were you shooting at? The smaller the number i.e. F-2.8 will have a very shallow depth of field as in your pic. The higher the number i.e. F-22 will have a much deeper depth of field. So if you want more of the background in focus use a higher f stop. Personally I like it the way you shot it, too much stuff in the background takes away from the pic.
 
Beautiful flower! I can smell it from here! lol Great pic. I thought of getting the Rebel before I bought the Fuji camera I have now. Great choice.
