Re touch images anime

Hi guys! A week ago me and my friend Stephanie talked about upcoming photoshoots we wanted to do and we also talked about what makes a great cosplay/costume. We found a pair of decent Levi cosplayers (from the anime attack on titan) but I didn't quite like the shoots. This is one of the images we talked about. Personally I think it's too much of the coat and blurr going on in this image and we discussed about setting a mood into a picture, so I talked to Steph about this and made this quick retouch of the image.

I don't know what you think but I would prefer a image that looks a little like this.
Which one do you like most?
