I think the pose works fine but I do find the hair on the left side a bit distracting.

Yeah, it is such an easy fix, I'd remove that strand or two of hair(s).

I agree a little distracting. Really like how you captured the evening sky colors in this while keeping her nicely lit. Nice job. You should be proud of this one.
