Just beautiful shot. I hope you entered a photo into our red and orange on black and white contest that has already ended though.

Thanks for your comment, Alandra. The technique is fairly simple: Select an area you want to remain with color then desaturate the rest (inverse). You can also do this with other effects like sharpening, brighteing, bluring, etc. When doing a portrait, I will sometimes Gausian blur the background to remove distracting elements. I will have to submit a sample as another variation of the technique.
