make a duplicate of the image open both images in photoshop, drag one image into the other, put the black and white image on top,

now add a "layer mask" (bottom f the layer pallet, rectangle with a circle in the center)
now with the paint brush, paint away what you dont want,

changing from black to white will change wether you add or subtract for the image,

good luck

Just add a B&W adjustment layer, set the mask to reveal all. Then paint with black to mask out the B&W.
