The tape in the first one stands out well enough that I think you can drop the selective color. Could you post a version that is all B&W?
I like the angle in the 2nd one better. I like the pattern of the bricks in the BG. But I am not fond of the color of the tape. Here you may need a bit of color to make the tape more apparent, but try all B&W and see how it looks.
I think you could go with either of these.
Personally while I like #2 for the angle & the bg, I prefer #1 for the crop, shooting angle and the tape stands out more.

I am looking at it and can't figure it out, maybe I don't know it.
It's probably obvious, but it's not hitting me.

I knew it would be obvious--but I kept thinking "mouth" covering the mouth, taping mouth shut and couldn't think of the idiom (for Kinkajou).
Thanks, it was bugging me.
