 Had set up some O'Hara roses a few weeks back. I initially had them against a light background, but then decided to see how they would look with a darker background for a more classic dramatic look.

So I took my initial photo and in Photoshop Elements put in a darker background. It's is just an approximation since changing one thing, has an impact on everything else, but it gives you an rough idea of the difference the value pattern created by the background might make.
