I actually like your first version myself.
The second has an overflowing amount of black being used, and I think it drowns out the image.
I added that amount of black to make it look darker and sadder, but im not sure if the effect works
Also thanks for your opinion.
Might I suggest a very faint blue overlay? It could help unify the palette better and also set the mood a little more.
