I don't know exactly what you did to the second picture but it added a lot of noise (look at the lady's right arm) and there is a definite color shift towards magenta. The colors in the second one appear lighter and brighter but I'd settle for something in between the 2.

I like the saturation of the PP version, although it has a color shift.
The lady's skin looks kinda icky (technical term) :-)
She may have been brightened a bit too much also.
Other than that, I really like the post on it :-)

It appears you ran it thru Topaz HDR. As Sony mentioned the women appears to have fallen in the mud. You might want go in and select just her, then inverse you selection, Leaving her alone. Then run your HDR program. She won't be effected.
Example of using selection tool.

If you wanted to improve saturation you could do it very simple in Photoshop. Duplicate layer, change blending mode to Soft light, Opacity 62. I am sorry if you do not like my rendition.

You've done very much what I would have done - made the shadows less impenetrable and increased vividness but stopping short of overdoing it.
I'd agree with the earlier comments about the woman and her skin tone. If you can't exclude her from the HDR processing, you should be able to select her and reverse most of what was done to her.
If it was mine, my next step would be to tone down the yellow/green a touch to make it less eye-grabbing. And if you toned down yellow you might find that the woman's skin tone took a step closer to being normal, but the shot as a whole would still keep its vividness.

Just curious, is your SX50 capable of shooting raw?
