#1 is too contrasty for me, like the other two very much. Especially #2.

Wonderful use of light.  I particularly like #2.  And I'd like to see a slightly less contrasty version of #1.

Beautiful work. Lovely shapes and movement in all. The first appears to suffer from some over-dramatic use of Clarity which creates the halo effects. At least that's how it appears to me.

Thanks!  I pushed the first one hard on purpose.  I often will go "non-literal" to suit my mood.  Not everyone's taste, for sure.  🤓
