Lighting study with an old friend

[RS3D]

Here is an image from a lighting study. I am trying to get better at matching shadows and lighting properties with background images.

This one shows me with an old friend I met while hiking (I'm the one on the left in the picture). People who have been around long enough will probably

remember the other guy as Ted from the Hash character set in the 2004-2006 time frame.

If you can make the shadow bluer i think that would help the match.

 

Looks nice!

Here is an update. I made the lights more blue per Robcat's suggestion and added a bounce light to the lower left of the models to get a little reflection from the snow

That does fit better.

 

that shadow on the ground is probably a bit too sharp. You might up the softness on it. And maybe using Ambient Occlusion on them might make them less severe in general.
