Loch Sunset - Not sure which looks best

I can't work out which one of these looks the best. I am planning to print and frame one of them at some point.
This was a sunset that I captured on the off chance that I was passing at the time.

The first image was my first pass at the photo, not long after I took it and the second photo is one I edited a few days ago and feels much warmer.
The third one was taken at a slightly different time and is cleaner, ie no clouds.

I personally like number two better. I like the warmer and stronger sunset and clouds. If it were mine, I might crop some of the bottom of the frame out to see what it looks like - more panoramic/rule-of-thirds.

I think I like number one, next best and lastly number three. On three there is something going on in the water, center frame that is distracting to me.

Thanks for sharing!

Ditto

Gotta agree, second one is my favorite as well.

I'll be the oddball. I like #1 the best. Maybe because it has more blue in the sky, it just seems to have a bit more... character.

I love the bottom one, it adds to the magic

Thanks for the opinions folks. I will try and crop panoramic style and see what it looks like. I think 2 is jumping out for me as well. Feels warmer. I do like 3 for it having a simpler feel.

Maybe a tiny preference for number 3. As you said, simpler, cleaner look. The others almost look unnatural, although I like them also.

I think the 3rd gives a more serene feeling, which fits the subject best. But 2 would be runner up.
