I would play with levels, curves, contrast and saturation (the colour image only) to add drama to what attracted you in these images.

The funny (or not) part is that I already pushed it quite a lot from the original, which wasn't helped by the light.

I like 3. The golden arch with the clear patch of snow behind it is like a golden gateway welcoming me into the forest, so I wonder what is in there if I go through it.

Nicely put. The third one is the winner for me, too.

On the post processing side, do you think that the snow patch behind the arch should be brighter? Because it is in the original shot, I darkened it a little to make the yellow arch stand out even more.

If mine I wouldn't lighten it as the yellow wouldn't stand out. As it's in a forest I'd expect the snow to be shaded.
