What can photo editing do for you?

When we were climbing Mount Eolus, a group ahead of us captured a wonderful photo. [Photo courtesy of Ryan Marsters]. Here I will present the original photo and 3 different edits on it. Please tell me which you think captures the drama of the moment the best? Note- clicking on any photo will bring up a slideshow with larger, more detailed, and higher quality pictures that you can scroll through- I'd recommend that.

Origional Photo untouched.

Edit 1

Edit 2- 2 graduated filters top to bottom

Edit 3- more dynamic contrast and black level adjustment.
