Your pick and reason

Hi,

I was experimenting with vertical stitching Panos and came up with this very-hard-to-stitch one (from four shots of highly entwined tree tranches and leaves)... The result is ok and then I made two pp versions. Your pick and opinion (reason) are appreciated. Three unidentified (avoid bias) versions including the original are displayed below in random order:

Just comparing the skies and the foreground leaves as the basis of my guesses. I think #2 is the original as the leaves are over-exposed a bit. #1 was adjusted to darken the sky but leaves still are bright. #3 looks like the dynamic range was stretched to darken the sky and take the shine off the leaves. It's my pick. Color balance looks natural, but I bet #2 is the Nikon "normal" color palate.

Thanks, BF. Your pick and analysis are well taken. But I'll disclose and id versions later until other commentators opine.
