Amazing work, the kitchen scene has such a great lighting setup, using the widow in the background gives depth and the lemons give such a focus to the scene, draws the eye. Possibly something that is missing in the first scene as it looks a bit crowded and the near, middle and distance all seem to merge so the eye is not really focusing on anything specific. The drawers achieve this so well through the use of depth of field meaning you focus on, well the bits in focus, wow that was put badly, sorry
Amazing work, you have really captured the realism.
