All three are spectacular, David. I do prefer the first crop for the composition, with the body in the LRC leading my eyes into the image and his amazing beak point back down again. Great detail and colors. Love the expression on his face. Nicely done.
The third doesn’t do much for me, David, but I like both the first and the second with #1 a marginal favorite. I’d probably go with a vertical but a bit more on both sides, but that’s just my taste. Superb detail.
