Jimmie,

As you pointed out about the blue shirt was actually my second thought when looking right now.

Maybe you could make a warmer shadow in the deepest blue folds in the shadow side? That is an old trick, and why Umber means Shadow. Not in the shadows on the lit side since they are colored by reflection from the blue shirt itself, so they may be even more blue. ( Just like the folds in skin color are more intense in the light side of the face)
Allan

Ps. My first thought was, wow he is good!
