Give a man a fish you feed him for a day, teach a man to fish, he feeds himself for life.

There are many ways to do it, for example one way to do it and the logic behind...

Level 1 beginner (very easy all "manual"):
In that image what colors are dominant?
> Green and red (hand and butterfly are red based)

> Select by colors ("add to current" mode) with the select by color tool > select hand and butterfly > it should be very quick depending the setting of your tool.
> then clean around with the free select tool in "subtract" mode
> Select > Remove holes (always useful)
> then Colors > Desaturate >  Desaturate
Done (made in a matter of a minute)

Man, that doesn't apply to me. I am vegetarian haha
Thanks a lot for the insight. On a real note I am extremely busy with university and my business, however, I like what you did with the edit thanks a lot for your help. One last thing the black and white is very dominant. Can you please demonstrate and show me how to add a bit of color to the picture while removing the hand please?

Thanks so much,
