it looks like two different color temperatures of lighting here with a tungsten light off to the left somewhere. that can be okay, and maybe even a bit more pronounced. But for fun and to separate the head from the background, try using another light source pointed at the subject from behind, and off to the same side as the other main tungsten light. in this case the left side. The light from behind can create a backlight or halo effect giving shape to the head and separation and adding more life to the image and environment. I would crop this by chopping off the top of the head some providing more space for the sides of the head and face. you can check this by using the slider on your browser window on this page.

Nice portrait result. I agree with Randy's suggestion. If you make a crop on the terms suggested by Randy, maybe, you can highlight even more the smile of the child. Congratulations. Roldao
