How would I make this mouse more realistic in the picture?

Hello everyone,

How would I make this mouse more realistic?

I think I am getting there, but need help to perfect it, any advise?

Don't mind the other errors around the picture, only the mouse​.

When mice hang by their tails, tails  do not coil like your.   I think you need to consider a different composition. At least a different perspective.

add a drop shadow. Go to you tube and search for "adding shadows in photoshop"

Lots of great tutorial videos on the subject

The right side of the bag has a highlight indicating light coming from the right of the image. The right edge of the mouse is darker than the left edge. It needs a similar highlight, just not as bright because it isn’t shiny material.

I would add some 3d shadow

Hi

I would

1. Straighten the cable - copy a section and transform it

2. Use curves to brighten right side of mouse

3. Use a combination of curves and invert to light cable from each side

4. Add a very subtle shadow

I like the reflection in the table top... nice touch

I think you need to be more precise.
