Great. I love taking portraits of older people. Their faces tell stories.

 

Truly! That what we look for in a good portrait... the story. It distinguishes the differences between a snapshot, albeit even a nice one, and a portrait. Portraiture has a way of capturing a soul.

Both work. I think there is a slightly stronger case for B&W here. It's just because there are different colours in the background. So, the B&W has a bit more focus on the subject.

The BW does lend a "classic" look, but thaz cultural to 

certain viewers, mainly by age group. For audiences 

that find BW simply "peculiar" the color version would 

do very well with a coupla simple corrections to reduce 

saturation in those background distractions that you've 

mentioned. The orange chair is an easy target for any 

selection tool and the few other possible distraction are 

so small and defocused that they'll be easy to kill. 

  

My personal taste fails to prefer the BW or the color. 

Each appeals equally to me ... with the caveat that I'm 

mentally eliminating the background distractions in the 

color version.
