I agree with what's been said about the background & natural vs. flash lighting. One thing that bothers me about the first photo is that it looks as though the proportions were skewed (sorry I don't know the correct technical term for this - maybe aspect ratio?) - like you tried adjusting the scale but width & height didn't change in proportion to eachother and the image got shorter but kept its width - her face looks more natural in the original version. I don't know if that's what you were going for though. I like the b&w shot a lot.
