Filadi,
I also think the portrait is wonderful. Totally captivating.
About the background, I agree with Richard that greying the yellow would help push it back and also create an impression of air or space behind her. What was your shadow color? You could mix the cool shadow color with yellow-orange to grey the background just a little.
Conversely, I find the shadows in the figure too dense and dark, and I think it would help to mix some yellow-orange into the shadows and lighten the value slightly. This would relate the shadows to the background as well as decreasing their solidity.
