Ordinarily I would say Wulf's advice is good. I avoid centering when possible. But in this instance I think his crops eliminate too much of the window and we lose perspective of what we're seeing. I would be in favor of moving the model more to the left to achieve some of Wulf's objectives.
All of which makes me realize an interesting phenomenon, a lot of the cc's I'm seeing these days address post production work and cropping you can do to salvage an image rather than addressing what could have been done during initial capture. Maybe its the difference between learning in the film age vs the digital age. I think there are things to be learned via the post production approach. My philosophy is - get it right when you shoot it and spend post production time making it sing rather than trying to fix it.
