I think this is a great photo with a lot of personality. And I think you can work from it even if you have a problem with the file size. Just look at the other photos from the shoot for comparative bone structure/facial confirmation when in need (or ask the client for other existing photos - i do). Also, print out a copy to use to paint from in black and white. Theres less noise, and can save you from seeing the wrong color (with resolution degradation as exists color reference degradation).


Best of Luck

P.S. I would also recommend considering lengthening the composition to include more dress - I think it will bring an air of femininity and be more reminiscent of a "classic" portrait. This cropping feels too contemporary for the objective.
