How do I make a Bouquet Pop & the rest say black and white?

Help, I cannot seem to figure out how to just make a bouquet of flowers pop and the rest of the photo go black & white.

Anyone know the answer?? I would love to hear from you.

Thank you

Hi Suniegirl,

I do think there many ways to get what you want.
The way I would choose is:

-Make a Black and White version of your photo by using one of the black and white effects in the gallery.
-Save this Black and White version as JPG or Tiff.
-Re-open the colored version.
-Add an Overlay (File > Add Overlay...) and choose the Black and White version of your photo.
-Use the current 'Erase From Selection' method (its already selected) to pull the colored photo (in your case the bouquet of flowers) to the top. (Just left click on the photo and drag around, youll see what happends ;) )

Hope this will help you.
