It's called selective desaturation. Try it with a hard line first like this:


Everything above the water is BW. it's easy to do because of the marked lines.

Here's how to do it in Basic Editing

Couple other ways of doing it, but not within the basic rules is:

To take a snapshot of a layer after adjusting the object.
Turn the image into a black and white.
Use the history brush to paint the subject back in.

or

Change the paintbrush tool from normal to color.
Paint over everything you want to turn into black and white, leaving all subjects you want in color untouched.
