This one of my favorites. I took this photograph while walking on the beach in front of my house in Jamaica.

Very good sunset shot. I like the deep orange and the blues in the sky.
Just some quick suggestions for future shots, experiment with spot metering, you could get some interesting results.
Also Try different composition angles, so that the Sun isn't always in the center. Remember a thumbrule for landscape shots, the best landscape shots have an object in the foreground - a rock, stone, a log, a huge shell.. whatever and that pulls the viewer's eye into the pic and gives it a powerful composition.
Lookout for these
