This is an applaudable experiment. Here we have two different light sources, and they are clashing with each other. To simplify this image it would be best to cut off the entire right side. After all, the lady is the focal point of interest.
Having said that I suggest you try again with using only the natural light, from preventing the sky being washed out. Yes, it would mean going against the light' but it can be corrected later with Shadow/Highlight tool in Photoshop, without loosing detail in the sky, and the overall colouring would be more natural. Ready for another experiment?

Very compelling image, which tells a story.
The image projects another time and place with the warm incandescent light and the cool light entering from the window.
Very well composed, with the model placement, including the hand on the curtain.
The bottom or foreground of image could be lightened selectively a little to show the detail in that is there and to make the lighting a bit more even. This could be done easily with a curves adjustment.

Excellent composition and story. The exterior is too much over exposed. Balancing the interior and exterior light would have strengthened the image a lot.
