I have very little experience with both the processes you used, however they worked well.
The only difference is in the color, the 1st is richer in color yet it looks a little too
much color. Just my perspective view, both look great.
PS: I still think the background would look best blurred. We tend to focus on that part
of the photo that is clear first.
Interesting about the colors. On my screen (late 2013 iMac), I don't see a difference. I brought both photos into Photoshop as layers and then looked at the difference. If the pixels between the two photos are identical, the result is black. Except for the editing in the lower right hand corner, the difference photo is black.
