Opinions wanted

I edited one of my recent photos & need opinions on which you like best. Be hard on me if you wish. I'm a big boy>

#1 No Post Editing





#2 Sky Added





# 3 Blurred The Sky On This Next One.

I cant comment on landscapes as i am rubbish at them but I will say what I see


STUNNING

Do you like the added dramatic sky or the plain original Jols?

The second one.

I like the first best Bob but I think the second would be nicer if you just blured the clouds ever so slightly. I was just reading an artical about this subject and thats what they advised, and in there before picture the sky look very much like yours. Give it a go Bob you never know! lol But I always love the Composition of your landscapes very nice work! and better than my Landscape effots lol! hope this has been of some help.

Thanks for the blur suggestion. I'll edit & report.

I like the first one Bob - I see what you're saying about the sky, but the others have too many clouds in it :-/ Maybe try another with less clouds? But I do like the first one as it is

Bob, think the mountain is so stunning that I like the sky as it was, think the work you have done is very good but in this case I like it as it is straight from the camera.

They are all goods shots - in fact it could be a shot of the same place on three separate days.

Personally I like the 2nd sky, but the definition is slightly lost between the mountain ridge and sky. I like the definition between sky and mountain in the 3rd pic, but feel the clouds have been blurred too much.

Thank you all for your input. I love the first photo right out of the camera. I was practicing adding different skies seamlessly and learned a lesson about "slightly" softening the contrasty cloud areas. I respect all your insight. I tried on all three photos as Wallpaper for a few hours and finally reverted back to the original image. The stark contrast of the snowy mountain against an almost soldid sky just adds a more eye popping scenic.
