Coke Bottle, Another 3D thingy Options

Some people said it looks good. Made in 3DS Max 9, using VRay renderer. It took my PC 2 hours to render (Intel Core 2 Duo E6320 @ 2,8 GHz (<yea, 2,8. Not 1,8. It's overclocked))
What do you think of it?

I didn't use caustics. I have no idea how they work... I'd like to know how, but I only tried it once. But it didn't work.

Glass will leave a shadow, even though it may be hard to see. Try and put a glass in the sun. You will notice a shadow
Anyways, I suggest reducing the intensity of the glass shadow. The shadow of the paper is good though...

glass doesn't only throws a shadow it also breaks the light.
Add a slight mirror effect to the glas texture.
and also a slight refraction map.(i assume 25% intensity on both should be enough)

Those 2 should give it a much better/realistic look.
