Go with the original. It shows enough guitar to show that she's
playing guitar. She's the real subject of the shot so that's what you
need. And it's all you need.

much prefer the shot of her without the partial guitar. To use the first image,
it needs to show more of the guitar.

Hi Bruce: I'm not sure if I commented on this photo before, but if so, I have
looked at it again. The lighting and pose are very nice. In general, I don't
have a problem with cropping some of the subject's head out, but I think in
this frame the bottom is a little heavy with the arm pose--

Thanks, Igor.
Cutting off heads is a bit of a fashion, somewhat popularized by film
and TV and largely necessitated by the landscape orientation. An
overriding principle is to keep the eyes in the upper one third of the
frame, and the closer you frame the more head is going to get cut off.
