Every version is lovely. But I think #3 is my fav. Do you live near the sea in Oregon? I used to love to stay in Yachats during the winter and watch the storms. In my early 20's I lived in a houseboat on the south side of Yaquina Bay in Newport. The sky would often look like this.
I like v. 3 best, too! I messed with this too much..I got tired of it. We're about an 1.5 hours east of the coast. It's beautiful there! I didn't know you lived in Oregon once upon a time?
I think I'll always be an Oregonian in my mind, no matter where I live. I've always dreamed of retiring inland from Roseburg on the Umpqua River. Best swimmin' holes on Earth, I tell ya.
You know, maybe it's the straight line of horizon(?) at the finish. V3 and and 4 have a softer line that meanders the eye. lol, I really don't know what I'm talking about, but the middle of those two are very pleasant. ^^
