The source used for the fan is an illustration and can't be used. If you look at the page of your source you can see the term "free illustration" listed. Illustrations are not permitted as per Photoshop Rules and Guidelines: 5.6. 3D Renders or Illustrations as Source:
Using other people's 3D renders or illustrations (even with permission and no matter in which form they are offered) creates a false impression of your artwork. So 3D renders or illustrations can not be used as sources, unless they are entirely created by yourself. Only acceptable non-illustration brushes and clip art may be used, but you need to mention them as a source too. Don't use an image that has been altered by the source owner nor an entire work created by someone else.
You will have to replace that source with one that is acceptable. I'll allow you time to fix this before sending a warning.

Dear Mod,
Thank you for that explanation. As you know, I don't do this kind of stuff and am really green behind the ears. I will try to fix it to make it abide by the guidelines, I thought I was being careful to use free photos...guess I wasn't careful enough.
Thank you for your time, I appreciate it a lot.

I know much of this is new to you and we all have made mistakes. It's not a major problem you should be able to find a suitable replacement. I found a couple on pixabay you could use:
https://pixabay.com/en/hand-fan-chinese-japanese-166503/ You could tint this one to add color if you want.
https://pixabay.com/en/fan-grass-dopl%C5%88ky-asia-876370/ Not bad.
https://pixabay.com/en/fan-flowers-handmade-beauty-622643/ I like this one myself.
There's plenty of time, I'll leave your entry up just fix it and republish.

I fixed it with your favourite fan. Thank you very much.
There are many ways to do shadows. Put shadows on a layer set to multiply under the subject and paint in the shadow, some art skills help. you can add a gaussian blur to soften them and adjust the layer opacity to look right. No space here to write all the details but this video can help with some of the ways to do it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ft5TP0taDJU
Blue lightening has many great tutorials.
