Gu,
It looks like you're on the right track (at least with the top one). It
looks like you're not getting paper white, but I'm not sure if it's the
image or the photo of the print. I think I'd like to see a little more
contrast (is this a digital neg? If so, that should be easy enough to
do). I think this print would look really nice toned in tannic acid.

I would say overexposure is a good guess, although I could be way off base.
You mentioned that you used a foam brush...have you considered using a
hake brush? I've had much better luck coating cyanotypes with the hake
than with foam. May help get some of your coating issues out of the
picture (no pun intended).
