Attempt at Selective Colouring with Photoshop

Sooo I've always wondered how people achieve Selective Colouring, whereby a subject or certain elements in a picture will have color whilst the rest of the pic will be in Black & White.

 

The process isn't too overly complex, but yet can be time consuming if one is infinitely particular about pixel peeping at >200% resolution. But I must say that it does bring out the subject more to the viewer's attention by taking away background colours which can be distracting from the intended centre of attention/focus.
