Sorry, not a fan of selective processing.
The end result is a total distortion/fabrication of the physical processes going on in the object.
I am very much an advocate of "respecting the light".
Non-linear transforms are absolutely fine, so long as they are applied globally and preserve the relativities of the object's intrinsic flux
With that level of "interpretation" you might as well get out the airbrush tool and draw the scene or use crayons...or whatever
No law against it....but this crosses too many lines for my liking.
