I wanted it to look like as she "inhaled" the scent of the flowers, the smell gave the color back. It's a lot more subtle than I wanted, but with my extremmly limited post processing skills, it was the best that I could do.

Created a selection for the flowers, desaturated the rest. Created a mask on her head, then did a graduated saturation thing to "recolor" her face.

I'd like to see more of her face, or eyes. I don't think keeping half of her hair in color and the other half B&W works. I do like the lighting and the exposure.

Great capture, nothing sweeter than a little girl with red roses. Maybe just a little dark ond flat in bottom right corner area. Well done ;)

The fact that her face is colored and only part of her hair is while her arms are not is offputting.

I think I would have like just the ribbon in her hair in colour.
