these last two were at night. 30 second exposures. I was very surprised with both of these. The first one i was not expecting such a spectacular cloud and sky along with the beach and the lighthouse down in the distance. The second pic i got this weird line in the top left. I have no idea what it is. anyone got any idea? the only thing i could think of is a satelite or a plane...UFO anyone? haha

Sunrise/sunset shots rarely look good on their own, even with amazing colours, without supporting elements, you simply can't do them justice. Just like other landsape shots, the best ones have strong foreground elements to draw the viewer into the image and towards the sunset/sunrise. Of course, that means you really need to invest in a set of graduated filters, unless you use HDR, which to me just looks garish and unnatural, unless done well.
