I like the face in the cloud, but I'm not sure about the rest of it. 5

I'm not sure why this is in a sky challenge.

Corona and Pine

This is a little too green looking (too much yellow?) for me, and the (Corona bottle?) on the right is distracting.

Sorry, but for me the sky is not a key element of this shot.

Is it 3 photos of the same shot? The line of the houses against the sky doesn't look quite right (but I don't know of any advice to make it look more natural), but the trees look good. I'm not sure I like the red mixed with the purple at the top, and I agree with posthumous that the foreground is too bright (actually, if the houses were darker it might help with where they meet the sky). Not sure the blueness of the bottom works with the colors of the sky. I really like the red/orange/yellow of the middle and the trees silhouetted. At least you gave it a try, which is more than I did, and I bet you learned a lot! Sorry you didn't get it entered, but maybe next time.

Not sure about the lighting, and I would have toned the red in the hat down some.

I think the light is too harsh and this does not have the feel of a portrait. The bit of green in the background is distracting.

For me, a portrait should include the face.

The lighting is too bright and the focus seems a little off to me.

The angle of the head doesn't work for me. Maybe if the nose were not cut off it would help, but there is something about where the head joins the neck that looks strange.
