Default Please CC my LR processing of portrait.

I am after some critique of my post production skills. I used Lightroom. This is a photo of my son. I'm not sure this is in the right place, sorry if it's not.

I am concerned that using fill light on his face has led to some unnatural skin tones (?possibly a tad orange) but I'm not sure how to fix it. Or maybe it just needs some more contrast.... hm....

Is the door frame in the background distracting? I cropped it as best I could.

Any general critique on processing is also very welcome. I tried to enhance his eyes a bit and make the photo pop a bit more like the professionals. What could I have done to improve things? Be honest! I'll be brave!

Thanks heaps peeps!

Bumpity bump.

The more I think of it, the more he needs a tweak of contrast on his face.... what do you think?
