Foggy autumn road - which one of these three versions?

[adversus]

#1 and #2 are close in my opinion. I like them both, for the reasons listed above already. #3 not so much.

I'd have to say #1 on a process of elimination. #2 has a ton of road, and the interesting part, or eeriness of the lights is crammed into the top 10% of the photo. #3 has a mood-detracting empty space in the top right.

I think #1 has a lot more balance, and the negative space in the top right has just enough of that tree's outline to still be interesting, but not "in the way", if that makes any sense.

Just my .02! Great shots!

Subjectively, I like #2 best. I like the "feel" of it. Objectively, I'd suggest the focal point of the shot, the street lights, be centered in either the upper left or upper right Rule Of Thirds power points.
