Nice sunset and very colourful. Good job. I should crop a little bit from beneath.

Not at all too dark. You've captured the colours of the sunset perfectly and the trees in the foreground look just right for an ideal contrast.

Beautiful shot, the colors are great and the composition is good. You might want to get rid of some of the negative space toward the bottom by gaining a little more sky. What was the f stop, exposure time, ISO ect..

Yup, crop out some of that dark space -- a little is good at the bottom, but this much is unnecessary.

On a compositional note, those two trees are just begging for the sun to be between them, instead of hiding mostly behind one of them. On the other hand, great lighting on the clouds.
