I don’t mind her hair being cropped off at all.  I like the framing as it is in the first one.  Moving back a step or two to include all of the top of her head would give you fractionally more DOF but perhaps not enough to notice.  That’s a heavy lens to hold in one hand, more so when wide open so there is not much DOF.  I think you did really well.
