David,
I like this shot of her a lot, and you know I like what you are doing with this model throughout, but aside from the crop thing you have a bigger problem.
Question: Did you shoot this RAW? If you did you may be able to dig some color or value out of the blown out sky - pushing the hottest spot away from her. I cannot look at this image without the powerful pull into that bright white area. If there were a way to minimize the brightness of that area it would really jam.
Keep up the great work,
Robert
