Which one is right?

This is a scan of three different photographs made from the same negative by two different photo shops at three different times. It seems that a negative can store much more information (more orders of the intensity of light) than it is possible to transfer to a print at the same time. This can probably be revealed only in various extreme situation such as here when I was taking picture of a feeble winter sun hidden behind this old church in the Icelandic State Park in the north of North Dakota not so long after noon on Dec. 30, 1995.
