The Aerosmith song, "Dude (looks like a lady)" comes to mind for some reason. Female forms, have less angles, more curves, less defined musculature, wider hips, narrower shoulders etc etc. As the person is the focus, you really want to nail this. I agree the composition if it had more interest in the upper portions would justify the height. I actually like the extended height so instead of cropping maybe add a secondary focal point at one of the tentacles at the top?
Hope it helps!
