you can do it on flicker but its kinda tricky. all u have to do is click on black and white and use the focal area only tool and keep doing it until the only thing left in color is your eyes.How to change a photo to black and white, but leave something in color?
go to google.com and enter in picasa and do the free download. and then its self explainatory from there.
You need Photoshop.



In Photoshop Elements: Have your background color photo. Make another layer exactly like that one (Cntrl J) and change it to black and white (adjustments, black and white). Now the top layer will be black and white. go get the eraser tool and erase the part you want colored in. (you may have to ';link'; the two layers by shift clicking on both and right click to link, I'm not 100% sure



Here's a tutorial: http://www.taylormade-designs.net/2008/0



Or if you have Photoshop CS3, then make a black and white layer over the colored layer and on the black and white layer, click on ';layer mask'; it looks like a rectangle with a circle in it. Color everything you want colored with a black brush with 100% opacity. If you make a mistake you just color it in white. LOVE masks!
