You all really know how to paint that sky! Great job everyone!
I received 40 entries for this contest and they were all amazing! You all took some really great shots of the sky. There were so many awesome entries in each category that it made it hard to narrow it down.
- Reminder If you got 1st or 2nd place in the previous contest the highest place you can get in this contest is 3rd place or Honorable Mentions. I am doing this so that many people have the opportunity to be rewarded with the top prizes.
Professional
This is simply an amazing photo. The way the colors radiate out from the sun is a perfect example of painting the sky. Great job!
The colors are so awesome and I love how they are reflected on the water. The bridge and its shadow draw us right into the photo and the way the boats line up compliment the bridge perfectly.
This is such a unique and amazing shot. This is on my list of things to see in my lifetime. I have watched videos on the northern lights and it the video looks like it was shot on another planet. Thank you for your entry of the alien sky.
Honorable Mentions
Amateur
This picture was one of the top entries in the whole contest. Everything about this image is amazing, from the composition, the scale, to the colors. Fantastic job. I am looking forward to seeing more entries from @bembelmaniac if you come in swinging with something like this.
This is picture could easily be turned into a painting. I love the pastel colors of the sky with the darker green landscape.
The sun shining through the clouds is what really makes this photo stick out to me. The rim light on that bottom cloud looks lightning. Those sun rays from the cloud are awesome. Great shot.

Beginner
This is an amazing picture! I really like your composition on this one. You did a great job having the foreground at the bottom, then the houses towards the middle with the sky and water flowing well together on the right and up into the sky.
The golden sunset is great. The birds hanging out on the rock watching the sunset is cool.
