Well, I think the original is preferable. There's some detail in the treeline whereas in the other versions, the treeline is pretty much a dark, elongated blob. I'm not all that keen on sepia so I may be a bit prejudiced in commenting, but if you like that sort of treatment, trying to bring out a bit more detail in the sky of your first post would improve it, I think.
