I really like the first one, the contrasting colours are really striking. Love the green/blue hues very much. The last one is also nice, just a bit more subtle of course. I don't know if you can do it but it might look nice to gradient the grass a little with a darker colour towards the bottom of the frame too, but that might mean you have to balance some other parts of the image to match.
I like the original best because of its vibrant colour palette overall.
The right one does have nicer and more interesting shades in the sky, though. Its landscape is very nice as well, but I miss the glowing red light streaks there, much better on the original. On the lioness I find the saturated colours of the right one a little much.
Now, the left one… I'm torn there. On the one paw, the strong complementary contrast between the warm sky and the coldish landscape and foreground works very well and creates a nice suspension. On the other, though, I find it too look rather faded concerning the lightness alone, while the colours are very saturated. For me, this doesn't work – it has neither the charm of a faded photograph, for which it would need to be toned down somewhat, especially in the blues, in my opinion, nor does it go all the way through with the boldness the saturated colours promise – for that it would need more luminance contrast, in particular in the lower foreground.
So, all in all I think the original is still the best 'package', because everything in it 'works', even though the variations show interesting aspects as well.

The original in the center I like best.
The one on the left looks washed out and well, after seeing the original, it looks like it lost its color.
The one on the right is very nice, but some detail on the grass gets lost in the saturated colors. Though, I like this as a close second to the original.

The one on the left has an overall blue tint that just says "color balance problems" to me. It's hard to look past that to see what else is right.
The one on the right is a bit too dark and loses a lot of detail in the grass, but other than that I like it, especially the sky.
Overall the original has the best balance.
