Hi, It doesn't work for me at all. The conversion to B&W is flat and dull, and the rock stands out like a sore thumb, looking very out of place. Being centered in the frame as it is adds no tension or interest to the photo, giving the image a rather static feel.
The idea of combining B&W and color in one image is a good one. Sometimes desaturating the entire frame only partially, and leaving one or two areas fully saturated is a good alternative, or just desaturating everything, giving the photo a sort of faded look, works. In this case it may be more the subject and framing that needs improvement rather than the technique or the idea.
