It is very photoreal looking. I have an acrylic christmas ornament that is
strikingly similiar to this. Really beautiful. Yours that is. . . mine's all
old and dirty now. :)

Really? Honestly it was a dink-around / slap-together that came out
spectacular...

Looks very nice. Wouls look better on a desk on top of some writing paper
with writing so that the reflections could be seen nicely.
Actually it should report more stored than shot as the photons are split
into two when they hit the surface, one for reflection and one for
refraction. Hope that explains it.

I turned reflection off...

Did you specify ignore_photons in the glass photon block. If not then it
could be that photons are being stored on the glass surface but also going
through the glass and being stored on the ground surface. Hence more stored
photons, just another guess :)

Ah, no I didn't. It looks better without ignore_photons imo, hey, real glass
doesn't ignore photons!

Well I'm glad we got that one sorted out as I had no more guesses left :)
Yeah, glass doesn't ignore photons but sometimes the photons get stuck at
the base of a glass object, i.e a drinking glass, and ignore_photons needs
to be used, but with yours only touching the ground surface at small points
it's ok
