 Tablecloth from Christmas dinner with wall hanging of fans and Geisha doll from my wife's trip to Tokyo and a brass vase from a trip to China Town in San Francisco.
room light and some bounce flash. There was sunlight through window through diffuser at first, but sun went down before I was happy with result.
higher aperture settings showed the doll and vase too much, but I'm expecting comments people would rather see the doll than the fans.
Change to flash WB
Level about 1/2 degree and did auto-levels
Some d&b on tablecloth crease followed by some spot healing
Adjust color balance some away from warm colors that I tend to have too much of.
Minor Topaz Adjust for exposure correction and some sharpening.
Reduced brightness at the last minute and resubmitted.

White balance strikes me as maybe a touch off. The background has a bit of a cast.

a bit to busy...would have like just the fans against a dark back drop, the vase only, the doll only...but all 3 to much with the paper. Your fans are the best so far...

My eyes keep being drawn to the doll in the background, so I wish she were either in focus or even more out of focus.

not too sure about the DOF here. I feel like the statue in the background should maybe be in focus as well.
