KISS
I go with crop #2. Sometimes it is better to go with what you have and not start changing elements. Once you have the ability to replicate what's in front of you then you can screw around with it. Don't feel pressure to create a "great" work of art. Make your client happy and do the best you can do.
I would probably simplify the girl's arm on the right side of the picture and get rid of the yellow. You can also eliminate the patterns if you choose. I wouldn't change values, however.
Remember the best route is KISS. Keep it simple stupid (no I'm not calling anyone stupid!)
