I darn well like #3 Don.
Are you locking the exposure before you pan the camera..?

My pick is also #3. Excellent use of the wide-angle composition.

No i didn't lock exposure. If I had, the sky would have been washed out. But it is a problem because of undexposure at the place where the zones meet.

If you don't lock exposure there'll be all sorts of problems as everywhere will fluctuate in terms of light and colour cast. Best thing might be to expose for the land, then either use ND grads to hold the sky back...or lock exposure but then bracket your shots, so as to get 2 sets of the same image about 3 stops apart. Combine as an HDR or as a blend, then stitch as a pano. Another way: If you've locked the exposure you can at least have either the land or sky perfectly exposed..then it's just a matter of treating the one area with grads or burning-in in pp. Max Lyons/Tawbaware is a mine of info.
