Of the three, I personally like the second best.
I like eye contact with the subject.
I would crop this rather tighter than shown. As is, to me it looks like a photo of a wood shop with a worker and the shop isn't very interesting to me. Crop the left and right sides out and it it starts to look more like a protrait of a wood worker to me. Then I might crop some off the top to put the worker's eyes more where I expect the photo's subject to be.
I also like the perspective of the wood frame around the worker. The worker's blue sweater seperates him from the background very nicely.
I would clone out or burn down the light leaks at the ceiling. I want to look at them and there just isn't anything there to see.

Exactly what I was thinking. I believe (and been mocked for believing) the rule of thids works very well more often than not.

Indeed. You are absolutely right !
The rule of the thirds works pretty well.
I like your crop.
When I cropped the picture I try to balance it but you made a better job.
Don't care about the others who mock you for applying the rule. Just apply and say nothing to them.
One day - I am listening to Donald Fagen on Pandora, which I like very much - I have posted 2 or 3 pictures and evrybody liked best the one which was cropped under the 3.eds.
Where are you from ?

Born in Ohio, raised all around the USA, now retired in Arizona. I don't lose any sleep over mockers of thirds. Thirds worked long before any of us were born and will work long after all of us are gone.
