Shot this in a hurry to get it into the contest.
I cropped the image, created a mask of the items to be left in color and put them on there own layer, desaturated the main layer, adjusted tone with curves, used unsharp mask, and flattened layers.

excellent job done on the colour with the flowers.....I would have liked to have seen them either arranged in a different vase or on the plant - I ended up focusing on the vase, which to me didn't enhance the image
Waaaaaaaay too many colors!!! One yellow flower and one stem of green leaves with the rest desaturated and you could have won this challenge. Just removing the already dull an inconsiquencial backgound doesn't automatically enhance the picture, or, make it a desatration.
