Just after your opinion on which is the best crop for this heron?

I prefer the last but then I'm a fan of square/er crops.

IMO, the first has a bit too much emptiness at the top - even for an environmental portrait style shot (oddly, an even wider view might be better!) The other 2 both have their merits since they're 2 different styles.

Thank you :)
 
First one for me. A shot of a common bird needs something different in it to make it stand out, and this shot has some environmental interest. With a decent focal length lens, getting a heron portrait is relatively easy, so you either need great light or an interesting background to push she shot up a notch

I like the top one, it gives more of a feel of it's habitat. It's more than just the heron that way.
