I still like the first one, but will bow to the community opinion. Thanks for the comments! This one I imaged from the raw file...which should fix any color issues, and I cropped in a manner to eliminate the ribbon.
Yakim, I'm really confused now. I haven't changed anything...no edits...nothing. I assumed your monitor was showing the ribbon and background as the "same color", because you monitor isn't calibrated. On mine, there has always been a difference in luminosity between the two shades of dark gray/black.
I think its the ribbon and the fact the right arm is cut off and the left is so prominent. On first view I actually thought the ribbon was her right hand with another glove on..
Lighting is perfect though, was this a studio shot?
Didn't see the first one, but I love the look of the fair skin against the rich clothing. Is that lighting, or a 40's styled cosmetic application? The red lipstick is the perfect accent.

Now I am confused.
I looked at it yesterday morning (at work), hat and ribbon are almost invisible.
I looked at it yesterday evening (at home), hat and ribbon are clearly visible and very different from the background.
I looked at it today's morning (at work), hat and ribbon are clearly visible and very different from the background.
