Forum rules
Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent. Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature. Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread. Please also ensure that you have a meaningful location included in your profile. Please refer to the FAQ for details of what "meaningful" is.

Two sunsets
I can't hope to compete with some of the sunset images I have seen posted on here, yet. I'm having a really good time learning more and more, and (hopefully) improving though.
The second is fairly noisy, and I'm not so sure if the portrait orientation works here. I'm also shocking when it comes to critiquing my own work. I know quality and how good an image is can be a personal/different for everyone deal, but are these any "good"?

Hey,
Can't deny there are some fantastic colours there. 
As for advice, for me, wheat makes a great sunset is as Surenj hinted, adding foreground interest in addition to the interest of the sky. So, for example, you could have a silhouetted person, or tree, and look up at them with a dramatic angle, so there is still strong emphasis on the sky, but there is something else in the shot to hook you in. Or go out to a pier and make use of some strong leading lines. Just some suggestions... Cheers,
macka a.k.a. Kris
Thanks very much guys. Unfortunately, the usual foreground of those scenes is pretty boring, and doesn't add much interest. I shall endeavour to work around it though.
Cheers. D200 + stuff
