For my taste you are on the right road, going the right way.
My personal preference for natural framing is "less is more"
Never give up on a sunset, one thing you might consider is shooting every minute or so, more frequently as the sun nears the horizon. Even after the sun sets, keep lookin becau7se you can get some dramatic effects of the sun in the clouds after the sun has gone night night.
Something I learned is watch behind you as well, when the light gets long you can get great rich colors behind your vantage point.
Keep shooting and posting!

I think your hard work shows in your pictures. The process for me has been to learn everything I can from this forum (and there's a lot), take lots of pictures and have fun. You'll see the difference in your pictures as the weeks turn into months. The 4 months I've been on UHH has been a HUGE help. Great people.

If you'll try to remember you are also shooting toward the bright sunlight. I find, with my camera, if I shoot with my shutter speed set from 1/125 or maybe up to 1/320.....depending. I still get the dramatic colors without the dramatic sunshine.
Keep practicing. These are getting better.

Sunsets are 2 a penny but a great sunset takes some seeing. You don't need help at all with the first one. Beautifully done. Notice the lighting effect on the mountain ranges. The trees are well positioned and sharp. OK, you didn't place the trees where they are but you chose where to stand and used them in your composition.
The second image is OK although I am not keen on the rounded frame within the image. Is this a scan of an old Kodak slide? If I remember correctly, they use to have rounded corners. The higher contrast may also point to a scan. You may want to decrease the blacks of the image a bit so that the edge of the frame is distinguishable from the blacks of the image, if you want to keep the frame, that is. And reduce the contrast.
