his photo makes good and subtle use of selective colorization. The police line tape is not fully saturated, in fact it's barely saturated at all. To acheive this Aloen D probably used 3 layers to get the job done.
One layer is the main image
The second layer is a layer filled with black, with a layer mode set to "color" with a layer mask applied to everything but the tape. This would make everything but the tape black and white.
The final layer is the same as the previous layer, filled with black with a layer mode set to "color." This image would not have a layer mask. With this layer you now have control of how saturated the tape is. simply adjust the opacity until you are satisfied with the result.
