You COULD crop it that way and have a "traditional" portrait, one which would be readily forgotten and discarded.
As you have it now, it has context and motion. It tells a story about a little girl who, maybe, is sneaking back into a room after being a little naughty. Or just a little girl being shy.
By the way, as it is now, it uses the rule of thirds rather nicely.
