As you know from my P.M. It is supposed to be a reflection not a shadow. I repeat it here for the benefit of others.

This is after all a learning idea each learning from the other so that our manipulation techniques will improve all round.

My own image still has a lot of work to be done on it to make it more plausible and when you are working on your own photo's you don't always see the faults.
