I like the first one because of the clarity (I'm a fiend for sharpness) and the colors (I'm a blue boy.) Just up the contrast (most likely use levels or curves in post-work) and fix a few textures and It'll be even better than it already is! I think if you wanna get some of that glint off the gold you should do a few very light flares and some light glow, but leave the blue floor sharp and haze free. I'd also like to see this with a depth-of field blur. If you've heard about the global reflection dome technique (sometimes referred to as hdri) I suggest adding that and making the objects a little bit reflective. If you haven't heard of that you can do a search for "hdri" in the forum and you are sure to find lots of info. Nite!
