Nice, I like the second and the b/w.
The first one is over exposed however, highlights blown out.
+1 to what David posted

Yes, and no. The overall exposure of the shot is better, but you cant fix burned out over exposure in post. Once a section of an image is 100% luminosity, there is no information at all and reducing the exposure only turns featureless pure white into another featureless pure colour. The lost detail is lost forever.
