In the first one it looks like theres more of a drop shadow to it. The shiny part on yours need to look more natural, meaning make the glare smaller. I hope that somewhat helps, I can't explain things very well.

the glare on the original is faded. it gradually becomes more opaque in the center and more transparent around the edges; yours is just the same opacity throughout.

The distance should probably be around 5 and a bigger blur to it. That should do the trick.

Maybe try adding more shadowing on the picture on the bottom. Maybe if that's a little darker...


But it's getting better. :) Not as flat. Which is always good.
