Even if it's like that in the reference photo, you might want to change it anyway.

When you get near the completion of a painting, decisions need to be made as to what's right for the painting itself, on its own merits, not just copying what's in the reference.

My advice is to put the reference away at this point. Look at the painting in a mirror and also upside down. Make it so it looks right for how you want the painting to be, regardless of what was in the photo.
