Everything about this image really appeals to me. Image #2 is my least favorite. I think you may have added the space to the left for balance since I think he’s looking toward the viewer’s left. But I’m really not sure about that. Image #3 with the black background really allows you to experience the colors in the bird’s feathers and the way in which he cocks his head to the left is a very nice pose. These are all very beautiful images, Artie!

Don’t crop it out, leave the subject to the right.
