Horizontal or Verticle?

I'm getting some display prints ready and I can't decide if I like this one horizontal crop or verticle. Any thoughts appreciated. Thanks!

I like them both, but I'll give the nod to the vertical. My screen is showing this image a little dark, it took me a moment to see that his elbows were resting on his knees - it seemed like a strange pose at first!

I also like the vertical but I think you could crop it a little closer to his arm on the right side.

Now, there's a good thought! But I think it would lop off his right elbow. Hmmmm.

Horizontal, but with a bit more head room. Vertical brings waaaaaayyyyy too much of the focus to his elbows and the hand placement (where the heck is his left hand?).

That's okay with me. Actually, I think this pose sort of emphasizes this guy's hairy arms. It's the first thing I noticed, and I just can't seem to get past it. It's freaking me out!
