First one has a different approach IMO, with a conceptual touch to it.
The second one is sheer kitsch IMO.

Even if I would not hesitate to add some more 'drama' to your shots  
(except for your South-America low light B&W work, which is  
fabulous), I'd never give these such a look that they get 'retro'd':  
it could easily enhance wrong stereotypes.

I hope this is not too provocative.
