The form, lighting, and composition in #1 are great. I guess the grain or noise is OK if you want to flatten the form because that is what it does. Overall surface treatments call your attention to the flat surface of the canvas away from the illusion of 3D depth in the form.
The "grain" probably come from the film I was useing. These shots were all taken in my family room and not using a professionally paid set up.
