.I happen to like portraits with a lot of negative space,
To me it would make more sense, if you wanted negative spacer, to include it
on the L H side.
But, I was willing to try a more conventional crop, do you like this one
better?
Definitely yes!

It is so obviously a portrait, I don't understand why it was shot in
landscape mode. The blank space on the RHSide is distracting.
Actually it was shot to check the exposure, primarily of the background.
I cropped it that way because I happen to like portraits with a lot of
negative space, and to cut out the backdrop stands and other detritus
that was in the original shot.
