Well that's what I call thumbnail preview ...
The sword doesn't have a (good) shadow and the blanket or whatever it lies on looks like a bad quality photo.
yep, you're right
the old digital camera I have, an ORIGINAL sony mavica that uses a floppy has only automatic focus...and not very good, the old computer just can't think too well....I took about 20 shots with it and they were atrocious....so, I took one of the cloth(it is actually satin, but DOES look like a blanket) and then one of the sword....and did my very FIRST digital cleanup around the sword and then pasted it into the pic of the satin....my very first! You're right....now if I could get my old cannon FTQL from the sixties to go digital.....now that thing made some beutiful pics....thanks for the comment....I hoping to improve....

How about adding a gaussian blur to the background to reduce the speckles? Then you could add some shadow to the sword, I used the Xach-Effect (Script-Fu) and deleted the Highlight layer. If you try it I'm sure it will look far better than my example. http://img328.imageshack.us/my.php?image=34875crimsonxandrosswordsv2tl.jpg
