I think I understand your intent, and is a good idea. Possibly if shot from a lot farther away it would have been more of what you are wanting. I think the lighting takes over this image without much attention on the girl and dog. In my opinion this image as shot does not tell the story I think you want. I did a rework that I think helps the image, but is still not what you were looking for.
Keep in mind lights and light colors pull the viewers eyes. We would not want something in the photo that pull the viewers eyes away from what we would like the subject to be. We would want things to pull our eyes into or attract viewers attention, but not away from the subject. This is hard for me to explain so I hope this is a little helpful.
