Roughly:
I started from the idea that the background was a distractor and
dimmed it - luminance and saturation of the greens
I then adjusted the orange for the tone skins
Played a little with the reds for the cloth to match the other tones.
Gave a little more structure to the skin by means of the tone sliders
I then sharpened the eyes a bit and gave them a click of clarity
Vignetting to taste
With this in mind all the time

PESO:
I corrected the color in the original based on the complaints!
Much less
yellow and magenta.

The detail is better but I might still prefer the B&W.
Thanks,
Tina

I reduced the saturation in this one but the color is still
distracting:

I was surprised at the apparent difference in detail of face and
hands
when I converted to B&W:
