#1 is very pretty!
#2 - was there more tree that you cropped out? Looks like focus was on leaves, so clouds in background are out of focus.
#3 - there is a lot of contrast between foreground and background, camera can't record both. You can expose just for the colored sky, keeping in mind that foreground will be in silhouette; or use fill flash to possibly light up some of the foreground, or do some post-processing work to help bring out detail from the shadows.
Is this the "help" you meant? :)

I'm not going to critique your photos because you did not ask. What kind of help or suggestion do you want? What do you think may be wrong if anything?

You don't need help. Most landscapes including sunsets and sunrises are the most difficult to shoot. It's not because of the camera settings or equipment you might need or inexperience - it's because you need to be in the right place at the right time. Sunsets are often much better if you get them when there are clouds where the sun sets and just when the sun sets it's light reflects off the underneath side of the clouds. This isn't like shooting a wedding or fashion shoot where you can tell the subject to get into position. You have to be there at the right time which isn't often.

You sure don't need any help on #1, Chuck! It's beautiful. I'm not anywhere near good enough to critique your other pictures.
