Dusk photography, blown out whites

Hello,

I was trying out my new lens and I thought I would do a little low-lite (dusk) photography of a flower, to see how it would come out.

Setup:
- Rebel XTi on tripod
- 24-105mm f/4L lens (FP 28mm)
- 430EX Flash + diffuser
- 22" away
- ISO 400
- 1/60 at f/4.0

Here is the original Converted from CR2 to jpeg, no PP.

I could be mistaken but IMHO, you did nothing wrong - this is just a tricky exposure..
Elements in your shot exceed the dynamic range of your camera.
Zoom in a bit more, fill the frame with the subject of interest and you’ll be able to see more details and better texture of the white flower.
