How would you crop this?

[_bms_]

I've played with a few cuts of this, which do you prefer?

Comments on the pic also appreciated. (my brother took it, I'll pass them along!)

Thanks everyone!

I like #3 except I would leave the full beard.

I would say number 2 is best.

The problem with the first and last is the images seem to be "missing" something, but the middle shot we focus on the face and don't think about 'whatelse is out there."

The eyes seem too dark in the shadows though...

Nice shot.

I wouldn't crop it. You lose too much of the subject in the crops you posted. If you really want to crop it I would take just a little bit off the left edge.
