The colorization of the face of this boy from a vintage portrait by Baron Wilhelm von Gloeden (1856 - 1931) is enough to provide all the needed emphasis to bring this photo to life while providing enough artistic insight in highlighting what you want emphasized.

This is the simplest colorization, just focusing on the main subject without bothering with peripheral elements such as a backdrop or a clothing. It's called selective colorization. I've even seen it done to convey a strong, sensuous or hilarious message, such as a Marilyn Monroe vintage photo on the right where the only element that was colorized was her pouting lips and nothing else. LOL.
