    look at that shadow
    what do you think?
    The shadows are to dark in my opinion. I wonder, could that have been created by someone using a graphics program or is it an actual photo?

    Never give up. You will never fail, but you may find a lot of ways that don't work.

    those shadows are real larry
    they're actual photos
    look at the shadow of an object placed on a table in direct sunlight and you'll see they're real

    Frank: Can I take one of your images to show what I mean about the shadow?

    I would make the shadow even darker close to the cap and also let it follow some of the ribbed edge where the light hits it and should cast a shadow. That will also make it look more as if the cap is touching the surface it is supposed to be on.

    Hopefull you can see the difference between my shadow and your shadow.
    With respect, your shadow looks very unnatural.

    Also, you can see that Boy is trying to point out the same thing.
