Then in my opinion you should have been honest and said that you are not ready for that shoot as yet. It takes time and practice, practice to know what your camera can do and how to attack various lighting variables.
As for the photos posted - - -
My first thought was that you were a troll just looking for a lot of replies. But I see that you have 111 posts so I apologize since that now does not seem likely.
However trying to compare picture #2 with the professional one is totally out of whack.
The professional one is, well, professionally done with obviously a pro model and under controlled conditions. I think the sky background is a background drop or has been put in via PS or Lightroom, etc. The pro shot has a unique perspective and obviously used a wide angle lens to bring out his original intentions.
What I see in the composition of pic #2 is an uninteresting shot that is totally marred by the distractions of the rest of the scene. That is a pair of old shoes dumped on the couch, an old couch, and worst of all the partial background of a rust scarred metal thing with graffiti on it. It all just looks like a grab shot done on a discarded couch in a random alley.
Sorry for the harsh words. I do not mean to discourage you.
But you do need some guidance on composition more than technical tips at this point. Get a good book on composition and take a lot of experimental photos. It will take time but it will be worth it.
Good luck.
