Tractor + Landscape : Color - BW - Sepia?

Went last weekend to the west of Iceland, Snæfellsnes which is one of the
most beautiful places in Iceland. I took alot of pictures there which will take a little time to process. I started tonight on this picture and made three versions of it.

I would like to get some criticism on this picture and which version do you prefer.

Thank you for looking.

I prefer the colour version Snoopy. The blue/orange complementary colours work well together, and the green fits in nicely. I think I'd have moved to the right to put more space between the tractor and the peak (though out-of-frame objects I don't know about may have prevented that). The current composition has most of the visual interest a bit cramped on the right of the image.

Thank you tony for your comments

I agree with the composition of the picture would be better if I had positioned myself and the tripod more to the right so the mountain would be on the left and the tractor and right side not in the middle.

I was driving by this scenery and had to stop with people in the car. So I was hurrying to take the picture, pressure from people that don't understand the fun in taking photos

You have my sympathies regarding photography when with companions Snoopy. I've missed shots or ended up with versions that I've lamented over saying "If only I'd had a bit more time this would have been a great image!" But then my nearest and dearest has been known to say I'm a bit obsessed!! Maybe she has a point. :-)

My sympathies aswell concerning photography with non shooters. My grandmother and mother were constantly nagging at me to hurry up when we went to Peggy's Cove.

I prefer the colour version aswell Snoopy, Though I do like all three. The colour has the most punch. I also like the Sepia version. The Sepia and noise really give it an old time feel.
