Nice still life. It's a pain when the light changes on you. I thought I could avoid this by using a lamp.. then the bulb broke -_____-
One thing that you should maybe pay attention to is reflected light. There is a little in your still lifes, but I feel as though there would be a fair bit more. But in your personal pieces it is all but absent. Light bounces. A lot. If you think about it, you can see the planet from space, and thats bounced light. So all the light you see around you has the energy to bounce around back out to space (Thats a bit of an over simplification but meh.) So unless the object is in space (There is no bounced light on a planet because there is nothing underneath it to reflect light) it will never just fade to black, except maybe in ambient occlusion or a core shadow in some circumstances.
Kind of a rambling way to make my point.. but I think I got there in the end. If it wasn't clear enough, let me know and I will try and do a better job :)
