Laelia purpurata var. estriata - another
Here's another variety estriata. Following Ross, I'm testing a clearer background, just as experimentation to see what happens! What do you think?

Love it, great photos. To me, they are clearer and the edges sharper (but probably just my eyes.) Thanks Mauro, beautiful Laelia.

Ross,
It’s just another test. What do you think of this dark green background that gets darker from the bottom to the top? Does it introduce much noise or produce an agreeable effect in your opinion? Still too dark?

On my color-calibrated monitor (LaCie 19 Blue) it appears as black. My experience is that one needs to shine a light onto the background if one wants the color to be a factor. In this case I would wash a light across the background from top to bottom (or bottom to top) to pick up the green. You are using calibrated light sources, right? In other words you know the degrees K of each light source for use in your image processing software? I think this would be a dramatic background and, if you don't mind, I may try it on one of mine. I have some bright green flocking that would be great for this purpose. Thanks for asking. I still like that blossom!  |

Yes, I had a soft light source between the flower and the background washing the inferior part of the background from the bottom. Now, I'm looking the photo on another monitor and the effect I wanted doesn't show the way I wanted, it's too dark, too blackish.
Ross, I don't mind, please try it and let us see what you get.

Very nice, and I like the background better.
