What might have worked better for you here would be to not totally desaturate the whole image, but to leave a wash of color. Maybe set the saturation slider at -65ish, and then mask out the single flower, as you did, and boost it back up to full, or even a more than full (+25ish?). |

I think the selective desaturation would have worked better if the subject that is in color were a bit less saturated so that it did not look neon. I like the idea and title for the picture though. |

The flower is not very pretty, I guess that's why it doesn' make this image great, otherwise the desaturation would work really well IMO. |

orange jewelweed (Impatiens capensis Meerb.)
a lovely little bloom.... awash in a morass of gray desaturation. |

I'm not sure the selective coloring works for me here. It makes it look really overprocessed. Maybe if the rest of it had not been completely desaturated it would work better. |
