People Went nuts with Lightroom

Decided to play with Lightroom. Room where it was taken was completely dark save for a few lamps. No external noise processing, sharpening using Lightroom's "Export".

Hi there.
The processing actually looks quite effective.
What doesn't work for me is the framing, composition and background of the image taken.
The subject is well posed and could have been rendered even more sharply with the camera on a tripod, stopped down, given a faster shutter speed and exposed for the highlights.
The background could have done with the lights off to one side of the subject so as not to distract the subject.
Also the photo could have even been framed as is in landscape format but with her head more towards the top left/top right of the frame to improve its composition, or alternatively shot as a portrait oriented image focusing more on her.
