very good work, especially on the shadows.

agree; shadows look very good; and also good place for the wine bottle

I think the shadow would be taller...good image, though.

Actually if you look at the original source, the shadow is from that, I just placed the bottle and shadow for that to match the original source.

There is something wrong with the perspective and depth in this image. It looks now that the distance from the bottom of the bottle to the wall is a couple of feet. But then there would be no shadow from the bottle on the wall at all. What you could do is drop the horizontal line between the wall and the table untill just a bit above the bottom of the bottle. And a shadow also makes a reflection onto a shiny surface(=mirror).

Sander, I don't see a couple feet in the distance of the bottle to the wall?? And I had also thought cognativly that the shadow would reflect (the surface is not a mirror either) and then looked at real world situations and discovered that the shadow in fact doesn't reflect at this level of shiny surface. Which is why I changed the image from the last step (my previous final image from PST).

good job!
