Beautiful portrait! Just great!
Maybe it's just my contrarian personality, but I like the original best. The "Two Thirds" crop loses all of the framing effect of the blue fabric and the enlarged image is too much "in your face" for my taste. Rules are appropriate only in context and I don't think any of us would want to edit every image to coincide with the 2/3 grid intersections or have the grid etched into our viewfinders. Also, maybe it's just my advancing age, but the more I look at "Before" and "After" treatments in Photoshop, et. al., the more I like the "Before" image, and the more frequently I'm using the "Undo" button.
Just my opinion, others may disagree,
