The B&W conversion is a little muddy, and their faces are dark. She looks cute, but he looks awkward.

The selective colour just ain't doing it for me. The flowers are hardly a feature of the shot at all (it should be the couple sharing the moment) so flowers would not be a good choice for selective colouring in my opinion. It appears that you've even focused on the flowers instead of the people. Aside the fact that the couple are very centrally composed, the tablecloth and backdrop don't really contribute much to the story of the moment so a landscape orientation in a tighter crop might have been a nicer idea. Sorry, I wish I had something more positive to say.

One question: why did you put the Smirnoff Ice in color?? I'm not really a big fan of selective coloring except in some rare occasion and this, unfortunately, is not one of them. I would have preferred a horizontal cropping for this shot.

I wondered if this was an ad for Smirnoff Ice....but anyways...I agree with the others that this is not one of the "hand painted" shots that are going to bring you a rave. I think the B/W version with a horizontal crop would have been a better comp on this one without the color addition.

for b/w conversions use these settings in photoshop go to image/adjustments/channel mixer tick the monochrome box then select +70 for red +20 for green +10 for blue and click ok let me know what ya think
