a question of toning

I am playing about with the toning of some recent ICM images. Any preferences on color as well as the image itself?
As usual, I'd ask for your initial reaction prior to any analysis. All feedback appreciated.

The second one has the best color.

My initial reaction was, "Wow, I love that lavender!' I thought it was the only one. Then I kept scrolling and saw the 2nd in teal and thought, "Oh I like that tone so much better, so peaceful." Although I think it could be a tad brighter.

All three are great but the 2nd really speaks to me.

I saw in another post you said you try to retain the essence of your subject and it shows here for sure. The upward motion of the "spikes" compliments the mast on the left and makes it seem like it could go on forever. It reminds me or beaming up on Star Trek. :)

Myself definitely third deeper more mood, could be eerie tree marsh. First has too much definition a bit boaty.. Second i'm just not feeling it like the third.
