oh no no sorry for three but the bw conversion is totally flat and the selective colours didnt help it rather unlucky combination btw, is badly cropped too , coz you cant see the whole thing from the left and top
just the idea is nice

okay Ive changed it to one... the post processing is terrible sorry...



good luck though and take care ;)

Okay, I grew up in a place where this was a noxious weed. It's a technically okay photo but I can't work up much enthusiasm for it.

nice effort at doing the selective desat to highlight the shape. Unfortunately the overall image has an unattractive washed out look.
try bumping up the green slightly, For the B&W portion , play with the contrast and make it look even more out of focus to artificially exaggerate shallow DOF.

good idea, I might have added a little saturation to the color though, jmo
