This is actually very nice in colors But much more difficult to say on which one the composition and direction is better. Maybe the composition is better on color version and direction is better if bird watches to the left.

I'm not a fan of selective coloring, but i like both. s
The back ground in the edited version seems to be less distracting.

That's usually the reason why B/W or sepia is sometimes a good alternative Here, at S&T one could also try vignetting, which is allowed That could also make the peripheral area less distracting.

I like both. In the colored one the somehow sad eye gets more attention, the background is not disturbing at all in the first, the grey and black tones work as a color, i like the colored one more, the second is more dull

I don't really know what vignetting is, but I bet there's some post on it at our site, and I'll try to find it.

For example here The point is to make the image darker towards the edges, and to draw attention to the center of the image.
