Re: New photo setup?
Looks like you need more lighting in the foreground and less above/in the background.

Re: New photo setup?
Lighting is key! also try playing around with the f stop if your camera is let you
This was taken with a fine pix f10 flash on slow, macro on, and a GE 5200k true white light and reflector.

Re: New photo setup?
if you can light from both sides. sunlight for the back and flash for the front.
Like this sun light from the left and the flash from the top front.

Re: New photo setup?
Try not to use the flash, it will "bleach" out your picture, giving it pale colours. It's better to use artificial light from all sides or from one side to create depth and shadows. But try working without flash. It will deliver great pictures after some practice.

Re: New photo setup?
also try using just fill flash, some cams allow you to adjust the flash output. some cams allow to adjust the exposure
(ev) those pics are a little overexposed, try going down
-1/2 to-1 ev or stop. if your cam lets you adjust your exposure metering like spot,center, full frame. try those different methods too! it takes alot of experimenting and recording settings to get them straight. once you get your setup and settings down, it's a piece of cake. one of the most important things is the amount and temperature of the light. use alot of light, more than you think you need and try to use bulbs balanced for daylight at 5000-5500K
