I like the tones and lighting of the first one but the face is too soft for me. The other 2 don't do it for me.

The image is soft for my taste but other than that is a good image. If you are using the lighting effects on photoshop i hope you are doing them on a separate so you can bring the opacity down a bit to make it look more realistic.

This is a nice image. Version #1 has a yellow cast and some highlights almost blown-out. The third image has more natural colors but needs some help. So I would start with #3 and do some minor color corrections and smoothing. Here is a version for you to consider:
