Interesting subject Tom,
I agree, it depends on the image.. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't..
I like it if it's used tastefully and adds something to the image..
Genreally, something like a photo of a personas face, and the eyes are colored..that usually works (for me)
I've only posted one with selective color..

](http://www.renderosity.com/mod/gallery/index.php?image_id=1430179)I felt good about that one..
If you don't mind..in the case of your image..it almost seems like to liitle..The color is very muted and relatively small..
Yeah, it is a tricky process.. I've worked with that specific tutorial as a well..In some cases, I've needed to create several layers because of the subtle tone differences.
Generally, like with most postwork "effects" less is more..I try to take each image on it's own merits..So there are no hard set rules..
