The pink on the water is so sweet, reflecting the not too excited and gentle sky.

The others are just not about sky, to me. I chose to not use a number of mine where other elements were more predominant. As I look at the photos entered I make my first determination about them considering the theme of the contest, doing that started when I showed one of mine I considered to use as an entry to a family member and his comment was: "The subject is sky, right?"

edited to say that I'm awed by your hawk portrait.
Your bird photos continue to astound.
