Strobist-Lighting Experiment

Lighting Experiment--please critique. This photo has minimal post-processing so that the lighting scenario is as close as possible to what I captured in camera. I would love comments about how to improve this shot, given only one light.

 

Strobist: This shot is actually only available light--I was working on catching the motion blur in the background. We are riding on a merry-go-round, and I was firing from the chest. (He's not even two here, and I didn't want him falling off 'cause daddy's got his camera glued to his eye.) Didn't succeed in getting the blur I was hoping for (this doesn't look particularly "in motion" to me), but any slower on my shutter and I was picking up too much camera shake.
