I know the selective color trend is not a favorite of everyone. ..but in this case, I felt it appropriate.

This little girl is a miracle for these young parents, as she was misdiagnosed in the womb as

having multiple afflictions such that the parents were advised to consider termination of the

pregnancy. Today this little girl is happy and healthy, and brings joy to all who meet her. When I

saw I captured this scene with her hand reaching into the pumpkin bowl, I knew I had to edit this

way. I hope you enjoy.

You are right, some people consider selective colour processing as being too "Gimmicky"   However I think that used in a more subtle way as you have here, it can bring intended attention to the parts of an image as directed by the photographer.  I also like the vignette and the delightful expressions of your subjects.
