Perfect Backgrounds

 

I found a few photos that caught my attention when I was looking for the Chihuly photos I posted last week.  They all had great backgrounds.  This first one is of the flower on a leek plant.  If I remember correctly, that purple background is because of a garden sign that was in the distance behind the plant.

This one I remember framing this way.  I happened to notice the narrow leaf agave that was behind this young saguaro so I lined it up to create the background for this photo of the cactus.

These skyflower blooms just happened to be hanging in front of a garden wall that was painted a pretty shade of red.  

A solid blue sky is always a great background for a photo.  It perfectly frames this dragonfly sitting on top of the bloom stalk of a century plant.

The blurred background of trees and shrubs makes this little cactus wren stand out from everything surrounding him.  

As with almost every photographer, I love it when the background lines up perfectly to enhance the shot.

I have a new post on Sharon's Sojourns today.  I'm looking at some views on high.
