The lack of shadows unnerves me a bit. It also makes the grey tube things look like they’re floating, especially on the bottom picture. Then again, maybe they are floating. Now I’ve confused myself… ---

It’s a good start, but I agree with pissant, the lack of shadow play makes it too generic. Try throwing in an enviroment and a floor plane to make it more interesting. ---

a nice metallic texture would also look nice. 🙂 ---

The first one with the shadow applied to it is an improvement. I’m not too sure about the second one though, the plastic texture is a bit of an overkill. ---

the first one with the shadows added looks really good, but i agree with the others that the plastic wrap doesn’t help much… and it looks very obvious as a filter
