Having changed the angle of the dominant leg, I also had to adjust the shadows on the skin. I added some highlights to the hat and tightened up some of the wine bottles, too. This just needs a bit of tweaking and a nice protective layer of varnish.

The labels on the right have worked pretty well but I see a couple of areas that either need highlighting or darkening. And I think the mixing cup and martini glasses need reflections on the bar counter.
