Looking for feedback on the cropping on these photos, Which photo looks best. I know I shouldn't cut the feet off but is there an exception to this rule.

I quite like this shot - it is OK to crop feet...the issue is not at joints. With that in mind, I like the right crop..it shows the lad well (and his rock)

I like the uncropped image, the environment adds to it.

Very nice but the sky is plain and I'd crop some off in #1, although that may mean cropping some of the foreground but not as far as the feet.

Woodworker has the right idea. crop a little from top and bottom and you are golden
