Most likely if I had shifted her to the right a bit there's a much brighter area of the background that would have been more suitable. I agree, though, that losing her right arm kind of creates a bit of a blackhole in the image. The alternative would have been to feather the lights more to her right to illuminate that area, however, the backdrop on that side is pretty darn dark as it is, and I don't think the strobes I have would have been enough...

Thanks for the comment.
