Thank you all.

CathyH the shadows on the wall were just there when I took the picture. It was just after 12 O'clock when I took the picture, and i thought of just getting the wall. It wasn't until I got it back to the computer that i realised the shadows were there.

The shadows of the chair and table were made by making a selection of the chair and table and putting them on their own layers and then filling them with black. I then used the transform tool to put the shadow where I wanted it. A bit of gausian blur and drop the opacity and bobs your uncle.(Thanks Swampy for telling me about this in a different thread, can't remeber the thread though).

Mostly though it was the camera.

I'd like to say thanks to everyone here at Retouch Pro. I wouldn't have made it as far as I have without this site.

I have just received my NulooQ. It looks cool, is heavy and now the research begins on how to use it.
