Don't know, it should be more like the original photo and don't think it's that 'glossy' imo. Though, fun for a simple icon.

Use of colors, now it are all very light colors. If it was more black you could create more contrast by adding white glows are something.

Looks awesome at the intended target resolutions. One observation is that the final previews seem to be cropped at the bottom.

Sweet.. XD
Perhaps you could also add some more to it.. such as shines, burn and dodge to it. It'd look awesome that way.. To make it more realistic/tit0-ish.

yeah, thing is that these icons where only needed in 32x32 and 48x48 px versions.. so adding that much detail would be a waste of time I think..
