Nice shape
Why did you choose this neutral coloured background Anton? I don't know if this compliments the excellent overall shape and colours of this flower.

Paph Background
I didn't have time to set things up when I brought them home as it was 37C and wanted to get quick shots before putting them into the cool GH.
They were set up in the kitchen and quickly photographed against the wall, which as you pointed out is a bit too neutral, but it was all I had at that moment in time.
Time has not been kind to me lately Bernard, and the weather has been too hot, but I intend to redo them "properly" once the weather cools down.....it is 41C with single digit humidity at present and should last until the weekend.
I thought that I would photograph them while they looked pristine incase the weather took it's toll on them. Mr. Murphy is to blame. :o)))))
I prefer contrasting colours myself, but this is one of those rare occasions where I had to make do. :o/

Background Update
Bernard, finally got some time to update these Paph images I put up, makes a difference.
I took them quickly previously as we had some very hot weather and they were not looking too good.
I decided to bring them inside into the cool and they rejuvenated nicely next to the north facing lounge window, so I decided I would re-photograph them with a black backdrop this time.

works well
Anton, this image looks a lot better. The background emphasises the nicely shaped flower.
