1, 3,2 in order but 1 is way better than both for me.

1 has nice lines that drawn you eye accross. Very nicely composed. The colors and light blur is interesting as well

3 is good but quite soft and a bit too centred. The headlights here are not as complementary. I don't notice them until l look harder.

2 has less colors and features to not lead you anywhere. Too square on for my taste.

#1 followed by #3. #1 has a great visual flow to it...as an aside, maybe clone out the light at the RHS? Great work.

I am curious with a D700 why you set ISO at 250? Also, as Scott Stoness pointed out in a similar thread, f22 brings diffraction into play (perhaps not with a D700?) and you could achieve sharper results ~f11. Maybe my thoughts wouldn't provide the slower shutter speed you needed?

regards,

Bob

I love the first one...it's electric. I'd like to see a little more sky above the streetlight on the right, though. It's a little tight to the framing for me.

Like the first best, as well, for the reasons Scott and Bob have mentioned.
2 and 3 are quite dark, have too little on the left to draw interest, and do not make as effective use of the nice lines of light you have captured. First draws you right down the road, cross the frame very effectively.

#1 no doubt about it, much more eye catching than the other 2.
