Using a dark background with light subjects is perhaps not the best decision. There are blown out highlights in the first two. Also, I think the wrinkles are distracting in the first two. If I'm doing a product shoot, as this appears to be, I use a chroma blue background, select it in Photoshop and apply the average filter. Voila, wrinkles gone. Then I can add whatever background layer I choose. It's a lot easier than carrying around a case-load full of backgrounds, an ironing board, and an iron.
