Definitely meets the challenge and exhibits proper bokeh. The subject matter leaves me wanting (not because it's a flower - I have nothing against flowers - it just lacks a "wow" factor for me). Good luck!
The bokeh is ok, I wish the main subject was a little more interesting. Nothing peronsal, I take flower shots also...the coneflower head you selected is looking tired and the lighting is kind of harsh. Early or late day sun may have better? Wait for a bug (bee, butterfly, etc...) to land? JMO. ;^)
Very nice! I especially like the contrast in shape between the background flower and the subject. The dark color of the rest of the background really sets the two of them off together, too.
