I think there's way too much contrast in the second version. The hightlights are almost gone. But I think that reducing the impact of the background elements was a good thing. I would subtly (maybe 40% opacity) clone some dark background over the colorful background elements in one but leave the contrast alone. But that's just me.

As according to suggestions from Ken and Igor, I've manicured the
bokeh and glossed the contrast. :-)
