Default sunrise shot conversions

A sunrise shot I took and converted. The first is the original, the second some fill light was used and the third is the b/w conversion. I would appreciate any suggestions on these. I have some of my shots going up for selection by company who is printing and publishing a 2010 calendar. I am thinking about putting this in the portfolio and am undecided.

Thank you Duane

I personally like the mood of the first photo...love the clouds in the sky.

i would have chosen something between 1 and 2.. some fill light but nut as much as in 2.. just to let you know my oppinion.. but out of those three it's number 1... it tells you the mood of that sunrise.. while number 2 could almost have been shot in full daylight..

i like the 1st one the best, i think its better to leave the tree as a silhouette and let it add to the mood, great shot

I am somewhere between 1 and 2. I really like the clouds in the second one, but the sun is just a little to bright. Beautiful shot, though!
