This shot was taken with natural light provided by a north window. I used a reflector to fill in a bit on the right side of the image.

Very good job on lighting the figure, but yeah, the backdrop pretty much wrecks the effort. Could a faster shutter speed and narrow DOF help blur the background? You may also need to put more distance between the figure and the background.

I also notice a lot of yellow in this image. It seems a natural color for the figurine but since the backdrop is also yellowed it makes me wonder if there is a WB problem.

I hope you don't mind the criticism, we're all in this learning thing together!

You could do product photography with those skills.

You're right about the background, yet IMO it's just the one large crease that draws attention from the statue. I like the lighting and the reflector adds just the right amount of light.

That's one thing that's really nice about window light...it really helps show detail well.

The little statue is nicely lit.
I don't mind creases in a backdrop, but I'm not so keen on the colour. Perhaps a grey or black cloth would make the statue pop, as the colour, or reflected colour, in the background is a bit close at the moment.
