Watching the background

I'm not sure when or where I heard this but I do remember being advised "Take Care of the Background and the Foreground will take care of itself" (presumably a photographic parody of the "Take care of the pennies, and the Pounds will take care of themselves" axiom). Well background do have a big impact.







These flowers are in a pot plant so I just moved them around, to compare the color saturation on the final photo, other than re sizing to upload here, there was no editing/post processing of these image. The wonderful thing about digital cameras, is that a small calibration exercise like this is both fun to do and costs nothing other than your time.
