If you crop it you would probably lose part of who she is at this point in her life. Gone would be her cowboy boots, gone would be the shine on the knees of her jeans. Not that a crop of her face wouldn't be a nice picture, but you will be able to do many more shots of her for that purpose. Very nice as it is.
As for the comment by Malarz & others in the same vain, it's apparent they have never entered International exhibitions.

Hello all, I'm posting this photo of my daughter in regards to printing...it was one of her sassy moments and I would like to print this one. My question is, should it be printed as is? Or crop it down some? I like the full photo as it really represents her sassy, country girl side...but it also seems okay with some cropping. Just looking for opinions and/or suggestions
Very nice composition. Leave it as it is. If you cropped, the shadow on the fence would be more prominent.
very nice picture and a beautiful girl. I would not crop this picture because the part that should be cropped is above her head and you cannot crop that out without destroying the picture. Try cloning out the tree growing out of her head.

Try cropping the lefthand side of the photo by an inch or so; that will concentrate on the subject fully.
Perfect Portrait.............print it as it is. Print a 16X20 of her. You will be glad you did!

The "white & trees" are a distraction. Had the subject (girl) been positioned closer to the fence the background would have eliminated the distraction, the subject "jump-out" and no cropping would have been necessary. For this photo, too late now. Still a nice picture.

I like the pose as is. I wouldn't change a thing.
The frame is great as is. I would consider cloning out the white sky blob top left using the tree just to the right of it and also the remnants of a cut down bush in the lower left corner as they do draw the eye (particularly the white blob) and will do so even more on a large print..
Love it as is. The outfit she is wearing, also adds flavor to her cute looks.

Yes, I would crop the sky/highlight at the upper left from the left - it distracts .......
