Shannon, This is looking great! You are getting some nice even toning with smooth transitions and a good range of values. You are getting the right idea with the cast shadow starting out dark and then fading away. It could still be a little lighter, but you are definitely getting the right idea. You could tone that reflected highlight just a bit darker, and try to have it feather into the core shadow. You want that reflected light to feel quite a bit darker than your main highlight. Nice work!
