>>... the blue colour gradient across the back ground
This might be possible when your subject is lit by light bulb (yellow light) and the background is not lit by same light. This might confuse your camera to choose white balance for tungsten (did I spelled it right?) light and thus giving blue tinge to background.
Well, you seriously don't need to have studio for "studio shots". All you need is plain background (any wall or cloth will do) and creative lighting. All I use in my studio shots (and their are enough in my portfolio) is light from simple light bulb hanging on free cable (so that I can move it to position ogf my choice). Sometimes computer monitor can also serve as very creative and different background.
Anyway, this is good try. Black on black is a difficult situation. You also need to work on placement of your subject. Check out on rule-of-thirds.
Photoshop is great, but its not easy. Fiddle with Picasa before getting into local editing with photoshop. I still manage 90% (or even more) of my processing on Picasa.

| Black was probably not the best color to choose. This is too dark for me. |

| Another entry used Black on Black really effectively. This one without the title would be difficult to discern. 5 |

| Like the graininess where the white fades into black. Specular highlights on figurine are a little too bright on breast. |

Pretty and simple.
There seems to be a little bit of sensor dust but it doesn't really affect it.
I like this.
And the single source lightning is gorgeous. |

| I usually hate photographs of sculpture, but this has a mystique, with the light you used. Nice use of negative space. |
