I looked at the sunsets option. You chose very well the flying, almost transparent girl with an entire life ahead waiting for her.
As magnificent as they are, the sunsets become personal bests most of the time. We cannot stop marveling at them but it's like playing Vivaldi on the radio too many times. Well done!

I like this one much more than your alternates. It conveys more. The sunsets are pretty, no doubt, but I love this one more. To me, it captures much of the childhood happiness... feeling like you're flying, with the ocean out below you. And it looks so much like summer! It's great to have shots like this in the depths of winter. :)
