1.25 - "Snap Shot" 

Yucca plant on the Carrizozo lava flow in New Mexico.
The blue sky seemed to distract and clash with a scene that had minimal color to it except for this green yucca, hence the black and white. The large crevice makes a nice leading line through the image to the mountains in the distance. Color selection done in camera.
Nikon D3200, 26 mm, 1/160, F11, ISO 100

In my defense, color selection here was necessary to draw the eye to an initial point in the frame. Also it's not localized. Notice the plant 2/3 up the image on far right. All green was selected and pulled out of the image. The saturation wasn't changed. No cloning, painting, or liquefying. I don't own PS or LR yet
