Response to Portraits in big rooms?

I like quite a few things about the picture. With the proportions involved, it seems like a picture of the room, with the person added as an "accent." Certainly nothing wrong with that, if that is what you are after. Two things that I would like to be a little different. The one splash of light on the ceiling is a little distracting, since otherwise there seems to be a nice gradation from light to dark, from the door to behind the desk. Also, her face is darker than I would like; since it is turned toward the camera, I would like to see more detail. If it has to be dark, maybe a profile? Some of this may be my rather dark monitor, and may look different to others.
