Looks like white balance was off or, lighting was by tungsten lights when camera was set to "Daylight". Reducing the yellow in post processing makes a more realistic picture.

I agree with SonyA580. It is a great composition, though.

The single light source you used created a deep low key effect that I like for this portrait. I assume that was your intent. Having said that, bringing up shadow areas with a reflector or fill light would be more to my liking. You could also bring them up in post. Just my subjective opinion. Nice job.
