Beautiful photo; probably not enough focus on the sky for this challenge.

Absolutely beautiful rendering here, superb colors & clarity. Whether the voters as a group will see this as a "sky" shot (as opposed to a "boat & water" shot, is an open question. Of course the challenge says make sky a "key element", and it is that, but I am half-expecting voters to mark down images where the sky is not the main "subject". Good luck to you!

This is a wonderful imageof the Friendship - but I don't see a sky as a major element in the image - 6

Thanks for the comments again. This one didn't come out quite as "crisp" as I wanted. Need to practice with my night shots a bit more.

Thanks everyone for the comments. I guess I could have gone 100% BW, but I liked the smoky feeling given off by these tones. I'll keep trying for that 6!

This is a beautiful shot, albeit a duotone. Why not make it a black & white? It's just as nice that way. Sure, it's a petty point to make, but B&W is the only stipulation this week.
