I've had a chance to play a bit with your suggestions about background. I tried a beach setting...glass in sand with ocean behind. It looked dumb. (No one suggested that but I thought it might be fun....nope.)

Here's the original and two variations on the theme.

what do you think?

The next two aren't polished up yet, but what do you think of the colors?

C. with tangerine BG

    Chris, I really meant when I said I had thought about doing this, but certainly not your cute machine!

    I imagined a nice bright-white BG! It's an Invention. It doesn't need anything else in the photo!

    Though that variation of turquoise is nice too!

    I think a bright white background (or even a matte black) would look great.

    The colors are nice, but the white of the translucent glass makes it less believable.

    I really like your first one with the white background, a LOT.

    Thanks for the thoughts. My gut likes the white BG, too. I had so many comments about adding a BG color that I had to explore it.

    I've posted the white BG..thank all for helping it evolve!
