  1. is. And we can prove it!

  2. Here's mine. I took the liberty of adding an object into the ball as well. I know that the lighting bevel I put on it is less than perfect, but what'cha gonna do? I also used a different method for the shadows for the ball and object. Instead of using the MOVE tool, I used the ZOOM/ROTATE (CTRL + SHIFT + Z) tool to tilt the layer. One of the benefits of this method, is that when I created the shadow for the object, all I had to do was re-open the tool and the settings for the rotation and position were already in there from when I did the one for the ball. This tool also allows you to slide the layer around, so you can get the exact angle and position you like in one step while maintaining accurate proportions. Here's what I did for the object itself: 1.) After positioning the shadow for the ball itself, select the background layer and then add a new one. 2.) Paste your object into the layer and position it as desired. 3.) Duplicate your later. 4.) On the lower layer, create a black drop shadow . UNCHECK THE KEEP ORIGINAL IMAGE BOX and press OK. 5.) Press CTRL + SHIFT + Z. Once the tool loads, simply press ENTER. This will position the object shadow in the exact location it should be to line up with the shadow for the ball. If you're making a translucent object (something that light can partially pass through), then adjust your transparency setting for the shadow layer to something suitable. A light gaussian blur will help this effect as well.
