Like said above, there is a little too much brightness on it. For that, try looking more into contrast than brightness. Also, it is a little too blurred. Make a flow of where it should be blurred and where it can remain 'neutral' or starpened and it will help establish a better focal point. Nice job on the colors for both though
ya its a bit blurry in spots, v2 is best, but at the same time one reason i dislike it, though it goes together well, kenshin in the city? lol i see a movie deal coming your way
