Yes or No? Selective colouring.

Rather neat and while the twigs aren't perfect they do contrast with the smooth lines of the lock. Can you leave their colour in as well as I guess they are brown?

I like it, but then I am rather partial to selective colour.
In fact, after I learnt how to do it, I had to consciously stop myself from doing it to every photo
I really like the way the chrome stands out.

I think that the idea is very good.
Maybe best, removing elements of the wings.

Second shot is too central and the curving leaf thingy is now too prominent and distracting. IMHO only of course.

I imagine selective colour technique to be more of a strong impact scene. I am not sure i would have applied it to this composition, as its quite colourless to start with.
Example:

ANyway, very nice composition and sharpness.

To be honest I was trying to be a bit more subtle than a "in your face" type of processing but maybe this is not the background to do it with because you imagine the handle/chain/fence to be all black and grey whereas in the original it is a lot more colourful than you may think with greens/brown/rust in there as well.
But then only I can know that

Exactly as you say. In my opinion, if you do selective colouring, this IS in your face, because its a clear manipulation of an image in post production. Therefore, I wouldn't try to minimize the impact, but rather, accentuate it.
Remember though, that this is not a criticism to your photograph, it is only my personal opinion

I don't agree with Nathan I think selective colour can be very subtle and I have spent a few minutes trying to find some examples I saw but failed! I'll try again as one or two required a double take to realise the effect had been used.

Looking at it again it may be better without the twigs to the right.
