What lets it down for me is there's hardly any difference in the skin tones and the grey of the inflatable thingummybob. Is it worth playing around with the channel mix to see if the skin tones could be lightened and the greys in the thingummybob darkened? This, plus a touch more contrast and brigtness, may lift it to another level, as you effectively have a natural vignette to emphasise Soleil's face.
