Your selective colouring is good, it is the colour of the feather and the added pink berries that made the bird pop. I would suggest leaving it as it...After looking at it more, I am beginning to like #1 too...even if all three are good. The berries draws the eyes back to the birdie. Lovely shot...the compelling part of #2 being more stronger of the three are the two extra green leaves that helped frame the bird.
Thanks Izzie, to be honest I hadn't really considered the leaves framing the bird in the second image but now you have pointed it out I guess it does help the composition.
I also think that it looks just a bit overexposed and compared toothed first image could do with some adjustment to contrast and maybe a tweak with the saturation. Something I will try later, just spent several hours doing Cindys tax, I'm brain dead now ;)
no critique just wanted to say I like the lines in #1 and the colours
Thank you for taking the time to comment Brian, glad you liked the image :)
