Help re: what to include in painting




I took this photo and had cropped it and did a color sketch of just the fisherman's head. I have been asked to paint a 'good' copy for a charity auction and want some advice on cropping and what to include. Although I would like to include his hand and the fishing rod the resulting painting is quite long to accommodate his hand placement. should I stick with just his head as his pipe and wrinkles add interest or try to do some watery background and hands?
Thanks for your help.
