Messing around with different lighting, thought this turned out pretty good. comments are always welcome.

The lightning one the first one is excellent.
But maybe it would give a better composition if the room at the top was smaller and at the bottom the plate would be completely visible.
But this is only a small issue. Besides that its a great shot.

For a random shot the second one came out quite nicely. Like it too. I think a little bit more sepia (a little bit more yellow? don't know how to describe) would be cool.

Maybe like this (just did this quick, so maybe not optimal):

The one with glasses looks like stock photo my only thing is that you can not see the edge of the glasses...so some dodge and burn will help

Did it have to be so white? A picture could be composed perfectly but without any attraction what is the point? I do like the second one though.
