Hmm, I agree @daneden that yours doesn't have as good a 3D feel but that's down to not using enough gradients and because the top of yours is very flat with too much white. What also doesn't help is that you have a solid colour which is too dark outlining the bubble. Lighten it or remove it and it will begin to stand out more.

Mainly for practice, but also because I didn't like the "..." on the original shot.
I just can't get the 3d feel right - it's so great on Wolfgang's shot.

For me your "..." outweigh the 3D feel.
Context: Wolfgang's version of the "..." distracts me from his 3D feel.

I do prefer your ellipsis though! :)
