Looking through the viewfinder - Fitting the frame to the subject

For this exercise I have chosen a bench in my garden. Dimensions of this subject are horizontal, so I have chosen a horizontal framing. The first picture is a conventional view point.

In the second picture the subject is shot to fit and fully fill the frame.

In the third picture I chose an interesting detail which is in focus and the rest of the bench is beyond the frame.

In the last picture the subject is gently arranged into surrounding environment so that it is pleasing for eyes.

I did few crops of the last picture to see how differently it looks with different crops.
