When I first saw the Buddha in the second photo, I thought "What the..... " The Buddha immediately looked out of place to me. Aladdin and lamps, and Buddha don't seem to go together. Different religious associations and regions I suppose.
I definitely like the third one least. The Buddha is taking up even more of the photo, and as Rick has stated, the smoke is overpowering the people. This means I have to go for the first one, but the space between the lamps is uncomfortable for me. Did you try turning the lamps so the handles were outwards. Would some smoke curling down over the lips of the lamps and round the bases bind the figures together more? If they are a loving couple, they look pretty estranged at present
Suggestion for something other than a Buddha. Perhaps a child with a wide eyed look of amazement? The round shape of the head might fit in the space between the lamps better.
Sorry for rearranging your ideas, but it is a bad habit of mine
It is easier to criticize than create.
