The darker background's much better. The lighting looks really harsh on the white background.
IMHO (I've never done what you're doing so take my feedback FWIW) you might look at ways to smooth the light, and ease the transitions from lighter to darker. Also, that cloth backdrop looks very homemade, not buttoned-up professional.

Yea it was just a rag I had laying around and it was darker at the time so I tried it. I'm going to look for some cloth this afternoon and see what I can come up with.

I agree with the waxalator!
The darker pics are better, but I'd try to smooth 'the rag' Or perhaps get some black velvet cloth.
Anyway, I couldn't have done it any better
Thanks for sharing!

haha, yea I need to see if the local wally world has some I can buy
The dark background looks much better on the angel, predominantly because it is mostly white to begin with. It stands apart from the background better now. For the same reason don't photograph clear glass on white. Use black, or some dark color.
The bear did fine on white. My only complaint about the second background is if you gently curve the towel as it transitions from flat to vertical then you won't see a "seam" at that spot in the background.
Nice shots! Oh, and the polarizer would help a bit. Overall though nice. If you really want to get fancy, find an environmental location, and be careful with the choice of focus, depth of field, and lighting.
Thanks, went to walmart tonight and picked up 4 yards of a black silk like cloth. Should make for a great background for larger things such as people, etc.
