Re: How can I improve this shot?

In a general sense, I would fiddle with WB only if the overall color balance is off. Once that's correct, leave the WB alone and do localized "artistic" color adjustments with other less global tools. As you discovered, tweaking colors with WB will affect the entire image.

I'm not sure what you're processing it with, but I can't advise re: Lightroom since I don't use it.
