I have been working on light boxes. Small things about the size of the fist or smaller. I want to show the texture and small details of objects...without being macro. I think it may be a little soft though? Feel free to give ups/ downs. thanks.

Wouldn't it look more 3-dimensional with some shadows?

There is just the teensiest hint of shadow extending from each end of the base off to the right and off to the left. As it is, it seems to be levitating in mid-air.

I think I would get a harmonious colored seamless backdrop and let the shadows flow, giving it a foreground, middle-ground and background. Perhaps it would look more alive and 3-D.

I completely agree with Robert. More dimension would really help this in my opinion as well. I also agree with both prior posters about the back drop.
