Use the magic wand tool to select the pixels you want to isolate. You may have to change the "tolerance" settings a few times in order to make subtle selections.

Once you've got your pixels grouped together you can change the hue/saturation settings for your selection independently of the rest of the image.

You can also invert the selection under the "Select" menu, which is useful for working backward.

Basically I just isolated the magnolia and the ladybug, desaturated and applied a blur filter to the background, and changed some contrast/hue settings on the subject.

Oh, and after working on the colors I used the "Burn" tool on the Ladybug's outline to restore some of the detail lost in the manipulation.

Well, that's an interesting, yet alarmingly homoreotic interpretation...
