You didn't ask but I will you anyway.  :-)
Window1 is my favorite of the 3 and is a very nice shot;
the hightlight in the background, usually distracting,
works well in this case, and together with the highlight
on the left and the one on his jacket across his lap
create frame the subject very nicely.
window2 is too tight.

The f2 zoom lenses are what make the Olympus interesting
to me, as they make full use of a less-than-full-frame sensor.
