B&W Subject on COLOR background!

Challenge #4 in the The Art of Contradiction series. Hosted by sagebrushfire.

Challenge has finished

The title says it all. Your main subject should be processed to look Black and White while the background has color. This is the opposite of what you'd normally do, it should be interesting to see how people make it work!
