In my humble opinion, I prefer the mood of the first. It looks more like a beautiful painting, not a posed portrait. I think Steven's advice on the composition is excellent. You could replace the orchids and lamp with a shorter object, a small sculpture or bowl of flowers in softer tones with less contrast, moved well back into that corner? And you'd probably want to subdue the wall color considerably. Beautiful photo!
