Lacks sharpness, which this type of image really needs.

The lighting and exposure you used really makes the skull look real (mind you I don't work for CSI) good job

focus could be better. the darkness on the right takes away from the second dragon and I didn't notice hima t first.

the dragons just look like toys, which starts to make everything else look like toys, and then the effect is ruined. Nice lighting though on the non-dragon items.

Personlly I'd like to see a little greater DOF so that both dragons were in focus, but nice job all the same.

Interesting concept. For a still life, however, you need to get the focus and DoF right - the dragon appears to be out. Highlights on skull appear to be blown. Heavy shadows on the coins. I might have tried shooting with softer light (putting some cloth between the light and subject) and using contrast control to get the drama back.
