Thanks for the comments.

I'll have a look at some reference photo's and add a 'crack' in for more
realism!

The shadow's maybe look strange because the ground/background is white with
no reflection or anything.  It doesn't help viewing in a browser window all
white too - better in a pop-up.  The other thing is is that I may have
overdone the brightness/contrast settings in photoshop - some of the
lighter shadows sometimes disappear when you adjust the levels.  Also the
images are jpegs - final version will be png's!

The lighting is using HDR maps with simulated photo studio conditions i.e.
with umbrellas, softboxes etc - Jaime Vives Piqueres shows on his web site
- his work - not mine (Images > WIP and it's the Alarm-clock).
