Hey guys, don't forget Ugo the Glassmaster's exploded diagram on his site. It is very, very helpful and gives a good insight into how he makes his transparencies really come alive..
As you say, Jarink, the key to a glossy surface is a hard edge and faded upper edge. This is actually a reflection of the horizon. If you keep that in mind, it's logical placement on a curve will be more apparent.
