Contemplative goose.

I loved the image of this goose sitting on the park bench gazing at the pond and looking as though he is deep in thought. Which of the three crops do you prefer? I like the first as it gives the whole picture and puts the goose into perspective, but I also rather like the last crop as it is quite tight on the goose and you can clearly see his eye. Perhaps the middle one is a good compromise - any thoughts or suggestions?

I like the last one best - it more sums up the story you are telling, the first, while wider doesn't focus enough on the goose (all imho).

Yes, I agree, but the first one also conveys the story of 'Billy no mates'. So I'm still torn between the two.
