WIP - Bohemia 1500 b. c.

Nice job with the materials. A couple of suggestions for greater realism: use area shadows instead of soft shadows; make sure the object is laying on the ground--it looks like it's floating (could be effect of soft shadows); work some more on the lighting--seems you have a single overhead light and blown highlights. Try a three-point light setup with varying light colors, maybe some planes for reflection, and color mapping (plugin) to kill the burned out areas; work on that cloth/paper thing--needs some thickness and the material is a little--strange.

area shadows instead of soft shadows: I know...
it looks like it's floating: floating is "fixing"
lighting system: one "main" light and sky dome
maybe some planes for reflection: there is some hdri map on Sky
kill the burned out areas: I have darked cloth material

Thank you!

I know that my english is a bit rusty :-)

That's better I think. Lighting might still need a little work though. Part of the cloth is still burned and part of the handle has no fill light.
