select few

They only represent [select few/selected few] young girls.

What's the difference?
Thanks.

They only select few young girls.
They only selected few young girls.

Only these two. Why did you ask that? What's confusing?

My apologies. My mind was playing tricks on me.

Actually I wanted to see the difference between select few and selected few. I may have made up a poor example.

I don't have problem with a few vs few

No. They are modifiers. You are one of select few/selected few who do this.

We have expressions like, "the chosen few," which might appear as a caption under a picture of some Marines.  This would be the same as "the select few."  I haven't heard "the selected few" used in this way, but that doesn't mean it couldn't be.

An attorney or talent agent "represents" his clients. If he has a very small and select clientele, you could say he represents only a few.  He represents only a few young girls.  The judges selected only a few young girls.  These young girls are the select few.  It's sort of like the special few.  You could say, "These young girls are the selected few," but I don't recall hearing it put that way.  You don't have the same problem when you say, "These young girls are the chosen few," because only the past participle is available.

Edit.  I see Clive says no.  I'm not sure what the reason is.
