I think you've done a very good job merging all those images - the lighting seems to be consistent. I suppose one way to unify lighting in a composition like this would be to use the Lighting Effects filter on a merged copy of your image, but I think this looks fine anyway.

Thanks for the input, Tamlin. I remember how the first time I used a default dropshadow in Photoshop it was a special moment - since then I've gone somewhat further afield in the shadows and lights department; it's a constant learning experience and there's always something new and exciting to discover.
