I don't really like the processing, the contrast is too stark, there is no detail in the clothing, the second one looks like a black silhouette which doesn't fit with the detail available in the rest of the shot and the carpet morphs into the underside of the couch and bottom of the cabinet.

There is a very bright reflection in the cabinet which is distracting as are the very bottom of the lampshade top right and the two items sticking into the shot on the right, they lead my eye out of the shot and away from the subject.

The first shot appears to be a portrait shot rather than showing someone in their environment as she is clearly posing for you to take the shot. As such I wonder why you shot it from a low angle which doesn't put her chin in a very flattering position.
