The first one packs a lot of punch. The highlights accent the coffee mug and the continuity of colour, tone, and light (I am out on a limb here being colourblind, so please forgive if I am blending the colour in your photo in my mind which you do not see as the same ) accenting the subject of your picture is effective. So too is the uniform and separate background.

The first image is really lovely, Dave - I'd love to see the second without the processing, and without the branding.
