This one is nice too. Good composition, the diagonal between the people, and how they're positioned in the frame. Personally, I have a slight preference for #1 because the foreground person is placed opposite the direction of the light, but it's not very meaningful to compare them to each other.

Really like the composition of this one, Peter. The way the stones on the left help form a line from the person in the foreground to the two at the back, and the stones on the right close the circle back to the foreground. The light comes at a very complimentary angle too. It's a great shot, imo.
