Input sought please. I imagined this as a lith triptych as I shot a bunch of images of my son underwater. Now I'm not sure - perhaps a diptych of the 2nd and 3rd images is stronger.
This was the first time I've tried the Moersch lith kit. I followed the suggested dilution and these prints took forever - 30-35 minutes in the developer.

I agree with the others -- I like all three together.
 
In terms of light and dark patches, it doesn't feel completely balanced with the left one included. I think this is what causes your doubts. The light patch on the left doesn't work as an "ending" to the total image. Maybe adding a fourth image, or using it is a the second one, will restore the balance...
 
I agree with Marco. If you moved the lighter image to the middle it would keep my eye centered and still make sense as a narrative. IMHO. By the way, it is a wonderful piece of art.
 
I think this is a great concept. Small series of three(s) works magic in terms of design, balance, linear story-telling, etc. Play with it...

Nice.
 
I like them as a set of 3. I'm in agreement with Marco and jbridges, if I were presenting them, I'd put the one on the left in the middle.
