Which is the best?

To my mine the third one truly gives the impression of a moonrise.  
Most moonrise pictures image the moon much smaller than we remember  
it, although it actually may be the correct size. The moon only  
subtends an angle of 30 minutes of arc, less than the size of your  
fingernail at arm's length. But, for a variety of reasons, not fully  
understood, it appears much larger when just over the horizon.  
(Google "moon illusion" for a better explanation.)

Apart from my quibbling about moon size, it really is a very nice  
picture.
