Maybe the colour version is better? Also slightly cropped to get rid of the beam in the left side.

Trying to learn about selective colouring, so any comments would be welcome.

I much prefer the B&W, but I think it could do with more contrast.

Not sure if it would be better with or without the rust colour though...

Got to agree with Tyr, although I do like the rusty axle.
Getting there! Thanks to you guys

I like color better. Makes the axle have more of a sense of place/belonging to me. Agree getting rid of the beam helps.

Thanks, all, for the time to comment. Mono conversion is also an area to investigate further...

I must say that I too, like the colour version in this case. Especially as it relates to decay etc.
With colour, we get to see the moss and mould along with the rust.

This is actually a very nice shot.

Well done.

Thanks, Mac.

I must admit I prefer colour myself. In general I cannot really understand why we should do all these mono conversions.
