Both are a little bright for me. The white areas get washed out and featureless.

The second one, the desaturation has left the skin on her stomach mottled looking, and the over bright highlight makes are look a little heavy for that outfit. I think it is the effect of the light and processing, as she does not look that heavy.

The poses, and the rest are very good. You are almost there. Both could be fixed with a trip back to PhotoShop.

Her hands look a little odd posed on that tree. One is just gone. It might have helped to have her hands in front of that limb :) Beautiful girl!

For me, the image looks too over processed. The white shirt should ideally should contain some level of detail instead of being blown out.
The Face is too soft for me and appears
The pose also appears to be too staged and unnatural.
I would also consider keeping the image full colour or perhaps black and white rather than just lowering the tone.

I'm actually not a fan of the glow effect. They are nice I'm just not feeling the post production is helping.

run the action on on its own layer, to get the effect you're after. create a mask on that layer and paint black over the washed out areas using a 25% ( or so ) brush so as not to completely erase the effect, but to possibly bring back some of the details.

Love it! It has a much better look to it, my eye was kept on her face and not wondering what was up with her stomach. It is a much more flattering image now. btw...I do love the processing you have done, it really adds to it and makes it unique.
