The first image (phong) looks unrealistic to me.

The reason I think it looks unrealistic is that the shadow indicates that the light is directly above the sphere, but the highlight indicates that it is beyond the sphere (since it is reflecting off the top at a very low angle of incidence).

In the second image, both the shadow and the highlight indicate that the light is directly above the sphere.
