Look at your light source. 'Ground' the cup onto the pavement by adding a bit of shadow in the right direction. It'll get higher points.

Thanks for the comments folks. I did have the great internal debate of shadow vs. darkening just under the cup prior to submission. A shadow didn't quite fit... the light is too flat. (Look at the man and his walking stick... no noticable shadows.) At the same time, there is darkening under the mat. I tried to darken just enough but not too much as the base of the mug is far flatter than the mat. Probably not quite dark enough though... Also I darkened along the rim of the cup. The original source is a lot brighter there than fit. Again, thanks for the helpful comments.

All the other stuff aside, the social security card on the cup is great. Excellent.

The card is great LeeLee and the concept itself is brilliant.
