In the image that you're seeing, it is a white, empty background. The 
problem is that if you look at the shadow cast by the pencil, it 
disappears at the edge of the paper, as if the paper were floating in 
air. I don't want that to happen, but I also don't want an object 
visible in the scene--basically, I want the pencil to cast a shadow on 
the document that I'm placing this image in, whether that document is a 
web page or the printed page. I want the pencil to cast a shadow in that 
empty white area so that the pencil's shadow doesn't look odd when I 
actually use this image in my documents.
