 This was taken in my bedroom with one of my mum’s porcelain figures and two £1 coins. It's lit with an angled table lamp and the 300D's flash. I have used the greyscale option and adjusted the levels to darken the image. Lastly I used the dodge tool to lighten areas such as the face.

Intriguing set-up, for me badly let down by what looks like on-board flash - that very harsh shadow, mass of bright reflections. I think you've gone some way with editing to correcting that, but the effect on the figurine remains. Like the halo-effect, but really wish that light could have been softer, less brutally front-on. Having said that, the kind of mock-photojournalist black and white treatment is effective, quite dynamic ... and I guess that flash could be used to help that effect ... but given it's so obviously set-up, I think my original opinion holds. 6
