the background is never as important as the subject matter, but the way you place the subject on the background makes a world of difference...

wanted to post one of these pics of the 55, but my creative juices weren't clicking and despite beautiful snow and beautiful knife, I dint get any good pics...

they were ruined by bad lighting and spacing. I couldnt position the knife in a way that the light would hit it properly, while having the proper contrast of the nature behind it... instead got three blah photos...

One of the "secrets" to good photography. "Find a good background, wait for good light, then put your subject in the scene."

Also: "If you want more interesting pictures, stand in front of more interesting things." -- Joe McNally

wait for good light,

I once read in a photography book, that a lot of the time, magazines and advertisers wont buy outdoor pics taken after 10a, because the light will be too bright at that point in the day, and washes out a lot of detail. I find myself racing the sun to outdoors spots sometimes. or thinking to myself, this would have been a great pic two hours ago.

...or sometimes no background at all. 1991 Buck 532 on "white infinity". Bought this one without a sheath, then thanks to dumb luck I later found the correct brown leather Buck sheath for it.
