Lindsey, The sky was a perfect color that day and the sun just happened to be positioned in a good place. My photographic skills are non existant. I have a little point and shoot camera and anything that comes out looking good is pure luck.
Kathy, try giving your 'St Within types' more light. I put mine outside in dappled sunlight in the summer. I have some locust trees in the back yard that somewhat shade where I keep the paphs. They can take a lot more light then you would think if you gradually introduce them to it.
