There’s not much difference; they all mean the same thing. The only difference is how descriptive/formal in each. For example;
“I picked the apple.” Normal, not very descriptive.
“The apple had been picked by me.” Longer, a little more descriptive.
“The person who had plucked the apple from the stem was myself.” Much longer, very descriptive.

@s64773586 It would depend on the context. If you’re just having a conversation with a friend, you could just say 1. But if you’re writing a critique, or an essay, you could use 2 or 3. All of them sound very natural, so you don’t have to worry about sounding strange.

So, even in writing, 1 could be used and sounds natural?
