I read a massive discussion on ravelry about this recently - I think it was one of the big forums, maybe remnants or techniques & tips - and consensus was that blocking with absorbent substances, especially things like towelling which are specifically designed to dry shit, is better because moisture can be absorbed out of your FO and into the towel. I am not a really experienced blocker (and I block my shawls on my bed, so no choice about the absorbent thing) but a few people who were weighed in - try searching maybe!
Blocking photos do often seem to be great ways to show off lace.
