Paph. delenatii.
Here's a cute little bloom that I photographed with 3 different backgrounds, pick the one you like. It's good for people just starting to take orchid pics to get some ideas. ENJOY..... Jim.

One of my favorite Paphs! The black background really works the best for it I think, with so much white is doesn't really stand out on a paler background.

I agree about the first, but the third is nice too. It pops.

I like the natural settings as backgrounds myself...the photo paper is good for close up viewing of details, for purely aesthetic properties the natural backgrounds are more pleasing to me personally

Gorgeous. I really love this Paph. I think it's one of the project suggestions this time and is one I will definately be voting for and if it doesn't win it'll be top of my wish list.
I love both the first and third pics here. The white does not have enough contrast really but both the black and natural backgrounds are gorgeous!

I like the natural background too, but I think I would use it more with orchids that have brighter colors.
