Success!!

I placed a plane under the shadow catching plane and unchecked "Visible in Raytracing" for the bottom plane.  Now all I have to do is orient the bottom background plane so that it directly faces the camera and then adjust the shadow catching plane to match the background image and I should be able to properly render reflective objects against photo backgrounds now!

 

Quote - In Poser Pro 2012, you can make the environment sphere invisible by unclicking "visible in camera" under the properties tab.  I've been using the enviro sphere with a panorama image to help with lighting, rendering over a non-pano version of the same image as a background, and it's come out pretty well, overall.

 

Thanks for the tip.  But I'm using the old of Poser Pro.  But that will be useful once I upgrade.
