Not sure about the cropping but I wasn't there so I can't tell if anything better could have been done. I would prefer the image being just a fraction darker and more contrasty. I think you have technical issues with this photo. Things you could do nothing about. There's some distortion in the image and I can see how you've been trying to frame the subject. There wasn't anything you COULD do without a view camera or at least a PC lens.

Now, there's another one. You lost some contrast because of internal reflections (inside the lens / camera body) due to portions of the subject being extremely bright. I can see stray light sprayed all over the frame, especially so in the lower half of the picture. Maybe and that's a BIG MAYBE it could have been reduced by opening up the aperture a couple of stops. I don't know which setting you chose or if larger aperture would yield you adequate DOF in this case.

All the above aside, not a bad photo.
