Hello Anders,

I probably like #1 best. In all of them I'm missing some contrast, so they a bit "flat"? The idea is great.

Sorry Anders, This one seems to fall short.
You lost the highlights in 1 and 3 while 2 seems dark and muddy.

I'd like a tad more contrast in them all, it's true, but I think 1 and especially 2 are still really strong.

You need to find yourself another place to study!!

I agree that #3 is bleeding from the blown highlights, but I do not mind the white in #1. Thank you for your opinions.

As for the contrast, I adjusted the levels to make sure I did not leave too much completely black. Then I tried to restore contrast by dodging and burning around.
