Tulips
I followed a tutorial thing in a Practical Photography magazine I found tucked away in my room. I'd always meant to try it out, but I never got the flowers when I went shopping. Anyway, here are the results (well, some of my favourites):
My laptops a right freak though. On that screen the backgrounds look fine and white, but now that I'm on my desktop, they all look yellowy and nasty
Its probably because I only had cheapo greaseproof paper and not proper white stuff. I might try it again sometime, I have some purple tulips downstairs come to think of it ...

Nice pics Cesca 
Really like the second one.
Yeah, the background on the 1st and last pic is off white/yellow - your laptop more than likely has a TN lcd panel, which is not as good as displaying colours. Always do your final post production on your best monitor

Yeah I agree - forgot to put that in my post lol. I think they look better than just a plain white boring background

Nice work, the background defo adds to the shot gives it a nice soft feel which suits the subject.

Thanks guys
My laptop is meant to display colours as they look when printed, but obviously HP lie. When I printed a couple of these for my coursework on gloss, they looked like they do on this screen, but when I tired matte, they looked almost white :/
