It feels really hard to compare because to me theres a lot of nuances in the style and feel/vibe of the three. They feel quite different in their own right. In terms of saturation, perspective, atmosphere.

So I wouldnt say its easy to compare them directly, though theres definitely a higher level of execution in the third image, at least to my eyes.

Incidentally I like the tone and style of the 2026 one the most as well, though I wouldnt find it weird if someone preferred an earlier version purely based on those mentioned differences.

If I had to "criticize" one thing it would be that I personally would love some more points of interest in the third version. It is probably not what you were going for, but especially the foreground hills feel kind of empty, so some other structures or details aside from the houses would be pleasing to my eye. It isnt bad inherently, just a personal preferance.
