I choose this shot because I thought it would be easy, but to get the lighting and the shadows just right it took over 100 shots. I didn't have the same jugs so I used what I had.

Could have used a secondary light source from up above and a little in the front to give a bit more definition on the front of the vases. Also, a bit stronger light source from the right maight have lessened the intensity of "dropinto black" when going from right to left. But what do I know....
Not a bad go - the sininess of the jugs I don't like as much as the original, and it's also a shame to my eye that you couldn't have found a curved background, but otherwise it's a pretty solid copy.
