Bird of Paradise with White Leaves

Hi All,

I found this plant a couple of blocks from my house. I was attracted to this shot by the obvious 3-dimensionality of bird-of-paradise plants, and the white leaves of this one. The more typical orange leaf variety shows poorly in anaglyph, so I hoped this would be spectacular.

As per the discussion of the past couple of weeks, this image exhibits some potential problems with 3-D images. Despite a compelling subject, the background is so complex as to pull ones vision left and right, far too distracting to enjoy the subject. If I retake this shot, likely I'll bring along a black dropcloth.
