Beautiful sky but not much else in the picture seems necessary

Great color in the sky, but the bottom half of the image is just too dark.

Lovely colours in the sky but too much unrelieved black in the foreground.

Beautiful sky, lovely colors, nice capture. IMO a little more crop on the bottom would have helped since it is so dark there and doesn't really add anything, again that is only my opinion. Good luck

With so many sunset shots, you really need something to stand out to be noticed, and this, unfortunately, probably doesn't stand out that much.

Nice capture of the sunset and I like the trees silhouetted against the sky but I don't like the expanse of darkness covering half the frame.

Beautiful sky. The colors are great. I really like the big tree, the shrubs (or smaller trees) kind of blend together.

There is too much black on the lower half imo. a crop a third of the way up would improve the pic much

Nice colour in the sky. Too much black for me though. Maybe try cropping a little off the bottom?
