Do you have specs on the keyboard? :)
i’m no photographer, but i feel the first photo is a bit too dark, but the second one is much much better! >

That second shot is a great improvement over the the one you previously posted. The first shot here is still a little dark IMO, and could benefit from a reflector to the left, just out of shot in order to bounce some of the main light back in to reduce contrast and lift the shadows a bit in order to show the keyboard better. >

I like the exposure on the first photo. Gives me a calm, late Saturday afternoon vibe
