The selective colouring doesn't work well here in my opinion...

The problem with selective color here is that its missing parts of the subject. Having parts of the flower on color and parts in B&W just does not look right.

Hmm...not sure about the composition here. The selective coloring kinda covers it up....but not really. I like coloring if the image is sound WITHOUT the coloring. Here I don't see that. But still pretty cool to look at

Yes it is the pedal dead center in the front is half black and white and half red. It's distracting.
