HEY THIS ROCKS! The lighting in your studio shot is very nice, both images appears to be lit from the same direction too. People seem to overlook that fact in many situations.

Nice Work.

I saw several comments about changing the depth of field for the background. I think the photo is perfect as it is. If you changed the background it would possibly look more realistic, but certainly much less exciting. Great work!
