I like the middle one maybe with a tad more of the painting showing

I like number 3, cropped to the size of 1 or 2. The hands/arm need to be worked on to match the head.

Thank you all very much guys for your times, interests and critiques it is appreciated. Seem like background 3 has most votes because I've asked for critiques at another forums most has voted for background 3 so I shall go with that I like background 3 too I've added a bit of orange down the bottom because blue and orange compliment each other.

Best wishes to all
