The sticks' shape, creates a nice abstract pattern, but the background and other objects nearby in the first image are a little distracting. With that said, I like the second version better. The first one fits a "store catalog" category. Ligthing is good. Did you bounce your flash off the ceiling?
I suggest using a lower ISO and a tripod. Your pictures will look best at ISO 100, but you may have to use a very slow shutter speed for that (requiring the tripod).
The first one doesn't look as sharp as I'd expect using L glass.
I agree with Vlad Xp, I like the lighting, but the background is a bit distracting for #1.
I like #2 :)
I agree the first one is not as sharp as I would expect from L glass. I personally think the background has just the right amount of blur for the subject and what the bacground consist of. The second one is not sharp enough either.
