Funny... the light seems a little too harsh, you might try exploring other lighting options (desk lamps, that kind of thing) to keep from flooding the subject so much.

A little too bright overall. The reflection on the bulb I find a bit distracting.

Comment by HVGB_photos:
Complementary colours are pairs of colours that contrast strongly when compared to each other. The main colour effect here is from the green of the grass in the background.
Black and white are neutrals and not colours at all, and therefore they cannot be complementary colours... white shows the presence of light, and black shows the absence of light. Black and white areas next to each other do demonstrate high contrast, but high contrast gives a different visual effect than complementary colours do in a picture.

Check some of the forum discussions on complementary colours for suggestions on using colour for contrast.

Photo looks a little washed out. Try increasing contrast. Might help take care of it.Looks like light hitting the lens to me. You've probably heard this about a hundred time by now but complementary colors.
