I like #3. It is sharper with more vibrant colors

Of these #3 is the best, but that shutter speed is way too low unless you are clamped down on a tripod or similar. The focus on the lines of the stone work just isn't quite there. The lines are fuzzy looking.

Of the three, I'd say #1 is best. It's a bit flat in terms of contrast--#3 is better there, but #3 blows out the sky completely. Even in #1 you've blown out the clouds, indicating that your darkest frame (if this is true multi-image HDR) is too light. You could easily adjust #1in Photoshop, including getting rid of the color fringing in the trees.

It was a toss up between one and three, but I finally settled on #1.

I would like you to have included the middle exposed shot for comparison purposes to that of the HDR.

I too like #3 but the right tilting back corner of the building bothers me; the railing is also not level. Is the tile floor of the porch really that sloped?

Straighten the picture and it will be much better.

I like #1 best, the clouds look good in the photo, not blown out! IMHO
:-D :-D

I like the third one best as the first two both look a little soft to me.

Besides the HDR evaluation, in architectural photography especially, vertical lines should be vertical -- with few exceptions for dramatic effect.

Three. It seems to have more shadows where necessary 🖤🖤🖤🖤
