Nice photograph! I'd be inclined to try some different crops -- maybe crop off some of the left edge and top? Your idea definitely merits some more experiments!

This was shot in regular landscape orientation, so I had plenty of wiggle room for different crops. In the end, this felt best for balance. The fire and smoke column centered, and the finger of ash pushing towards the rightside vertical third of the frame.
Unfortunately, I've deleted the original, so no crop revisions.
A good reason for another attempt.

If I'm honest, I'll likely steal your idea for some experiments of my own.

Steal away, I would love to see what you come up with.
Gently disturbing the smoke tendril also offers some unique results.
