Your light is quite poor, and the shot could be more effective simply by working on that element alone. I'd guess this is an on-camera flash and bit of ordinary tungsten light from the room, and shot against a black background of velvet or something. The black works, certainly - it appears flawless.
The room lighting has leant an unpleasant orange tinge to the edges of everything, and your main light is so front-on that it prevents us getting much real sense of shape or texture. I'd try moving the main light ot one side, and getting rid of the room lights, and using a piece of paper as a reflector to fill in the shadows a little - you'll get a muich more pleasant effect that way. |
