number 1 would be my fave if he had been engaging the camera with direct eye contact.

(22,695 posts)followed closely by the first one. The reason has to do with the hand each time. The added hand gives a more complete feel to the presentation.
In photo number 2 the location of the hand, centered,, gives the photo's composition a comfort, suggests a diagonal, presents itself
as reminiscent of an old oil painting. The monkey looks at home and settled. I also like the background color best on number 2.
In the first photo the monkey looks a little anxious.
The third photo simply misses the all-important hand.
