I think the first one works very well. Selective colouring should only be used, I think, very, very selectively. You have shown us an example where it really works. Well done.
The out-of-focus background in the second is too confusing for me. It actually competes with with the main subject.
ps - Have you managed to read the threads about how to post images inline here. Then we'll see them at a much bigger and better size. All the information you need is here
