For me, the first.

#1. It shows more of the crater which is the home of Madam Pele, the Hawaiian volcano goddess, and the clouds which always plays a part of the 2 mile high crater. #3. The colors of Haleakala are brought out along with the gentle slopes which are very deceiving of how fast one can drop in elevation. #2. The toughness is brought out on the left side along with the cinders of the crater.

Looking at these pictures as a writer, #2 and #3 are just what I'd look for as a prompt for a tale of a protagonist on the search for treasure, kidnap victims or fighting a foe. They set my imagination on fire. The first picture, could be a closing scene, the ending, mission accomplished, all is well.
Not professional as far as photography, but I like all three.

Much to my surprise, I like the second one best. That surprises me because I generally don't like the vertical format for landscapes.

Wow.. I have to say, first, that I envy you a little bit for the chance to take that picture, that place looks amazing!
Then, I believe #1 is the most "complete" scene, whilst #2 and #3 are perfectly good pictures by themselves, I think keeping them together gives you a different appreciation of the whole place. You get to see that contrast in colors and shapes between the two sides of it and having the clouds moving in like a fog is just... awesome.
Nice job!

Linda, I am honored that you looked. Your doing so gives me an opportunity to say to you that your evaluations and reasoning always is instructive. #3 was the first image that I cut from the original image. The contrasts is what I saw. The "pano" was the last of the three. When I did I thought that it might be too broad to hold the eye. I think it was the parallel curves that I tried to reveal. Again, thank you for your insights; they will help me see better in the future.
Your notion that the composition brings one "to leave the picture early" seems to me spot on. Thank you for a fine insight that should help me see shapes in the frame better. I believe art even if outwardly looking is best self-contained.

number 1 , number 2 if you could have a black sky with stars in it or a blue earth would look like a moonscape from the rover .

Against the grain, I prefer the 2nd, and would jury it into an exhibit before the other two, for somewhat the same reasons. It is powerful, the shapes and directions contrast yet belong, it is unique. I just wish you had found a way to punch up the contrast in the valley/mountain while keeping some haziness. Yeah, I know.
The other two are excellent, easily appreciated, but of a stereotype.
I think it is important to remember that "good" photos are like "good" music. From pop to classical and in between, there are many audiences. Numbers 1 and 3 would have a great response from many, deservedly so.
Also, I would like to boost Linda's comments. Good discussions, with specific reasons, make for great learning.

I think the bottom one in the post has the most artistic composition for my eye. Very nice.

I’m with Linda here. I like 2 and 3 best. If only the camera was aimed a little lower on 2, we could see those rocks. Frankly, a little more post would really make these pop.
