Choose the Best Haiku

I am still not certain if I want to do a haiku a day for the month of January. Today, I tried to write one, but I came up with three versions and I'm not sure which I liked best. I thought I'd ask my readers: Which one do you think works best?

(Just a note: Last night I found a handbook of poetic forms on Kaela and Mike's bookshelf, and it said that since counting "sounds" in Japanese doesn't directly correspond to counting syllables in English, many poets writing haiku in English go for a poem of short-long-short lines, rather than a strict 5-7-5 syllable count. I decided to follow the loose interpretation of the form.)

#1:

golden light slants
across bare-treed mountain:
winter afternoon

#2:

golden light flows
over bare mountain trees:
a hawk circles

#3:

shadowed mountain--
but below, golden light
warms bare trees
