This one is *very* simple, but has a very dramatic look!

Basically this is just a pie chart, with one 'exploded' slice
(using the pie chart's "explode" option to tell it which 
slice to explode), and labels outside the pie.  Also, when 
you mouse over the pie slices, you can see the actual data 
value via the charttips (created using the pie chart's
html= option)

What really makes it look nice is the gradient shaded background
(this makes it look like there's a light directly behind the 
pie chart).  This was done using ... what else, but *annotate* :)
I do this by annotating several concentric circles (ie, using 
the annotate 'pie' function, and 360-degree pie slices).
The outer circles are larger & darker, and the inner circles
are smaller & lighter.  

I also tried to choose shades of blue that went well together,
for the pie, the labels, the title, and the gradient shaded
annotated background.
