Hope this gives you an idea of what I meant. I was in a hurry so they're sloppy. The lightbulb didn't really work because there wasn't anything captured in the shadow for me to lighten. The same with the altoids. The two cans on the left should be a bit brighter as well. There should be a little more of the car in the 3rd one here, but I couldn't add that.
