Coca~Cola Paradox

I know there are a few things wrong with this, and I know what I need to change for my second try at this. But I would like to hear your thoughts on this.

Hey! Pretty neat. I like the concept a lot, icicle, but the stark white on the right and the overly dark area on the left is too much for me. It seems like the image is unfinished. Try a different overall setting maybe, maybe an obvious mirror on the left. Not sure what background will work on the right (where the mirror wouldn't be). btw I like those white cans,

Is this one any better?

Thanks GB.
The concept hit me late last night while I was sleep deprived, I agree that the white can on a white background was a total flop on my part.I was going to go with a mirror for the reflection and I didn't like it, wasn't what I was after. I was trying to go for the parallel dimension them. the red can being in the dark half of the dimension and the white can being in the light half.

Now I have the white can in the dark side, and the red can on the light side.
I also think the red and black backgrounds work better too.
the white background was just too over powering.

Thanks.

Better height match this time but I would like to see the reflective surface continue on past the can to the right of the image. The red floor is also a bit bright IMO.
