Like most people here , I favour the second picture with its presentation of the limestone pillars so beloved by the classic school of Chinese wall-scroll painters . I like the way in which you have used white balance variations(?) to produce both pre-dawn and post-dawn versions of what is essentially the same scene in the first two pictures . It's amazing to see how many different effects are possible with quite small changes in the colour balances. I presume you've applied the same technique to the cave image ; very eye-catching , but I don't think that psychedelic explosion would sit very well on my living-room wall !

Thanks for that... Yes, the first two are seconds apart, but treated cold and then mellow, somewhere in between nearest the truth I suspect. The cave is illuminated, so it was choice of what seemed accurate for that one,,
