Carol, it's to someone's personal taste whether one like your work on the sky or not. To me, it gives a special and artistic touch to your composition, so resembling it to an impressionist painting.
If you think you can't accept something, try to change it. But if this doesn't work, don't be frustrated, but give it later another try. The one who perseveres wins!

I like the moods conveyed in this shot. You have the naked trees in the foreground reminding us of Iowa's winter. The main subject is a burst of color. Love what you do with the textures too.
My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust
