The background? ... The hair?

There's a couple of changes in the painting but I have to say, I am still not feeling it. (-_-) I think I overworked it, and somehow, somewhere I took the wrong direction.
Here's with hair:


And here's with some changes in the background, and I worked on her mouth in a way that she is smiling:


The colors are sweet and dreamy, but there's something missing and I'm not sure what it is. Maybe the hair.
Well, I have more paintings to scan so I will be working on those.
Thanks for visiting!

Martha, I do like her smiling and I like the flow of the hair, but maybe the hair is too dark? Don't know? Good luck ;o)

Martha, I love the way she is smiling in the lower photo and the background colors are so dreamy. Really beautiful. I am enjoying so much the painting you sent me and have had such wonderful comments for the sweet young girl. My husband thinks she is our daughter, maybe. Faye
