Emily in Graphite

You can see the Pompeiian influence in this composition. I like teeny, tiny pictures with a wide border. I tried this one from a picture I took of my niece, Emily, on a ferris wheel. I was happy with how her facial features turned out, but I was kicking myself for using a charcoal pencil to blacken the background. It ended up making the graphite look lighter and even more shiny. Any recommendations?
