Someone had step by step directions here before, you could try doing a search.

What I would do is:

-make a duplicate of the layer to use as your working layer, this way you can always go back to the origianl if you are unhappy with your results, you can also take a snapshot of your image and use the history brush to paint back in areas that want to correct.
-make a selection of the area you want to stay in color - you can use a combination of selection tools to get the selection as accurate as possible.
-invert your selection (SHIFT+CNRT+I)
-desaturate your image (Image>Adjustments>Desaturate)
