Hi partner,
How about half way in between the two?
Where did you shoot this?
Cheers,
Steve

Great shot! Even though Steve's choice may fit the frame better, seeing a manta go vertical is somewhat of a bonus! I would choose either of the first 2 depending on how the image is to be published, but if it was the first one I would crop it a little more

I tried rotating your cropped image, and then decided that Steve's version is the most harmonious image, but I do appreciate the vertical version as a relatively unusual take on the manta. There's too much blue on your landscape format version for my taste.

I reckon a little white balance sample wouldnt go amiss either
