Grandson - they grow up REALLY fast

Here's a recent photo of my grandson, taken in a sandwich shop. It was natural light, late afternoon.
Sometimes I find that I overcrop an image. I've included a lessor crop in number two, which includes a more pleasing subject but with more of the distracting background. Which, in general, do you like better?

I think #1 is cropped too close. I actually like #2 the best as the plain BG in #3 just does not look right.
The lighting on his face is really nice - definitely directional and a nice catchlight.

Thanks Captain C. I appreciate your comments. After posting it, I didn't really like #3 either. I even went back and turned the background entirely black, which I liked a little better, but that didn't seem quite right either.
It was just one of those situations where we were just having a sandwich, and when I looked over at my grandson, the light just seemed........ right. I happened to have my camera so I took the shot. Alas, I didn't have much choice of the background.
Thanks again for your thoughts.

I hear you. If only they'd grow up as fast as your own kids, which seems to take FOREVER. That 1st shot's a real keeper - his eyes tell me he's someone you can be proud of!

removing the background dulled the pic. I agree that #2 is best! Very nice shot!
