Same as usual, washed out and lack of color. Stop overusing the orange and purple gradient.

I like V2 much more.
Think the colors in V1 are monotone and not really fitting.

You defo need to work on the blending.
I don't see any forgeground effects wich would create depht
and blending at the same time. Try to add some.

Also the lightningsource is a bit out of place.
Kinda looks like you placed iton the right arm of the focal but looking
at your focal I'd say it comes from the upper right....

Also be carefull with your blur tool.
A pretty big part of the render looks overblurred and ruins your depht imo.

Keep working on this one :D

Update

Still washed out.
