fix what ? whats broken ?? - Peter Dawson

Mostly that the colors appear a little blown out and there is no contrast in the white items. - Shannon - GlassMistress

It looks to me like the focus is a little soft, especially on the beads along the bottom of the necklace. If the camera was on a tripod, it probably wasn't caused by motion blur, so fixing that much may be a matter of reshooting with the aperture stopped down a few notches to increase depth-of-field. Manual focus might help if you're using a DSLR (it's possible but harder to do on a point&shoot). Adjusting the lighting or white balance might help too. - John (bird whisperer)

Thanks John. I'll try those suggestions when I get home. I wonder if a different colored stand would help too? - Shannon - GlassMistress

I agree with John on the focus and increasing the dof. I like it against the black. White might work but I'm slightly afraid that white in the bok choy will get lost. Also what kind of lights are you using. I suggest you soften them a little bit. If your lights are adjustable turn them down a little. If not try pulling the light a bit further away from the piece and see if that helps. Are you lighting through the walls of the photo box? (Is the wall of the box between the light and the necklace? Either way, another cheap easy way to soften this is to get a shower curtain, one of the inner liners that is clear but with texture to make it somewhat opaque, Or even a white plastic one if you need even more soften, but that will do it a bunch. Drap the curtain between the light and your subject for a cheap softbox effect. Let me know if you have any other questions? - Rachel Lea Fox
