Default Boy playing violin

Hello please help me develop this image.

EXIF DATA:
iso:100
lens:50mm
Aperture:f/2.8
Shutter speed:30
Handheld
No flash
Auto white balance

Specific questions:
1.) How is the composition and exposure?
2.) How is the colour and sharpness
3.) Anything I could improve more

Thank you

The color is very off - everything is turquoise. Can you post a SOOC? Focus looks good though, it is nice and sharp. Composition-wise, he's a little too centered for my taste.

Susan thanks for your comment on the colour, i have made some changes to the colour and cropped a tad in the right side and this is the result.

Do you have an un-edited version of this photo. Did you do some other type of processing to it. I didn't see the first post; however, this next one is still off.

I'm not certain what color the wall is but I added a couple of blue filter layers with different opacities and one cyan layer in photoshop to counteract the yellow. Hopefully this will help you see the difference. I will take it down if you want me to.

Lputman, this is brilliant, il take your steps. It looks natural and nice. I think I need to calibrate my monitor on the other computer. It does give me the right colour when I do my post processing there. Thanks again.
