hey, piece of cake! Just desaturate the layers that you want to be black and white. (Image>>>Adjustments>>>Desaturate) Then you can adjust the contrast if you want to crush some of the blacks. NOTE: I would suggest duplicating the layer that you are desaturating, just in case you dont like the outcome you still have the original...

hope this helps:beer:

Looks like it's desaturated... probably some masks here and there to keep some colour. Possibly a hint of the diffuse glow effect.

1. well lit subject
2. slightly crushed blacks
3, desaturated a lot, but not all the way.
4, very very slight greenish/reddish color correcting brushed on.
5. and probably a little bit of sharpening, as that always helps give it a crisp, captivating look.
