Hi, Toine. I don't always care for an image in which a part of the primary element extends to abut the frame edge or beyond. Which, for me, eliminates #3. Also, #3 is weighted too far to the right. #2 stem seems to meet the top of the frame. That leaves #1. I think to simplify the cropping, you might just go with cropping the right side as suggested by Ken. I really don't feel that its being a tad above center is of any consequence. Might even help.(?)
