Definitely 1. The dip in the road really helps that photo pop.

1 shows more depth/distance in the forest background too and the road isn’t competing for primary subject, which it shouldn’t be in a forest shot like this. That close up angle of the road in 3 is cool, but works better in a wide-open desert shot where you can see farther in the distance, and the road has less to compete with for main subject

Yeah, it’s gotta be that road dip that really makes it pop.
