The first one is definitely the one I'd hang on my wall because it's both attractive and restful. But the 3rd is my favourite because I'm attracted to structure of all sorts and this is almost pure structure - there's beauty there in the same way that light reflecting from chaotically wavy water can be beautiful. I feel that I ought to like the 2nd but can't. Perhaps it's because the tree doesn't stand out enough from the background, a shaft of sunlight illuminating just the tree would make all the difference. But clouds and sun will do their own thing - and of course that is usually not what the photographer wants...
