Practice.

Here are the tips: first image has a too distracting background. If you're going to do macro photographs use a large depth of field by using an X Box sized aperture [like a 2.6 or some ridiciously small number], that'll blurr out the background. Also, if you're gonig to do still life, like those statue cherubs, play around with light and shadow more, and use a bedsheet or something as a background, that way it dosen't look like you set it down on some random table. Test angles, too. Take more than one photo of the same image from different perspectives; experiment.

Second statue picture is better than the first one

When shooting statues, try not to show what they're put on. Maximum, show their feet but that's it. Avoid the floor/table

Thanks. I cropped and played with the light shadows. I think it looks better now.
