I think the first is too close as there is no visual clue what is going on; i.e; playing in a sandbox. They could be childs hands doing almost anything. Perhaps if it accompanied another photo which I'm sure it actually does.
I like the b/w and soft focus.
On a low resolution black and white image, I don't think a copyright notice is really necessary and for that matter they are copyrighted even without the notice.
