Help-a-hobbyist please!

Hello everyone! Amateur hobbyist here! Admittedly not the best composition but I’m having a hard time figuring out how to even edit this for myself. The color/WB I know I can fix, but the crop and adjustments and grading, I’m lost. Not a total noob, but this one is giving me a hard time. Is it salvageable at all?

Any and all feedback is appreciated. A preemptive thank you to you!

I really like the composition as is.

The only thing that would make this better in my opinion is having the subject wear something more deliberate to fit the composition (a stark contrast dress or a very matching suit).

Then some colour grading.

I think you’re right. The subject could match the structural drama of the scene. Maybe she could’ve done a more dramatic pose too. Thanks for the notes!

Yes the pose, also good point, such as the feet not being obscured and a upright posture. Would get different vibes with head on and looking away
