Beautiful sunsets

Here's a sunset I took, 5D3, TSE17, Lee Big Stopper. Was going to toss it because of the lens flares and partial halo (clouds blocked the left side of halo), but after boosting the saturation and adding in some vignetting, I didnt think it was too bad. What do you think?

Shot these for a water utility company in the UK called United Utilities.
All of Thirlmere Reservoir. Thirlmere is a reservoir is in the Borough of Allerdale in Cumbria, the English Lake District. It runs roughly south to north, with a dam at the northern end.
Thirlmere was constructed in the 19th century by the Manchester Corporation. It took four years to build the reservoir between 1890-94 to provide the burgeoning industrial city of Manchester with water supplies. It has a 96 mile aqueduct built between 1890-1925 still provides water to the Manchester area. It uses gravity to get to Manchester no pumps! Amazing!
All shot with 5DMKIII and 24-105mm with a 10 stop ND between 110-203 seconds.
(Didn't use my 16-35mm because my ND gets too close to the bulbous element and leaves a pink ghost in the centre..)

Tom , these a great photos! I especially like the last photo. Composition, lines and colors. What ND filter do you use, B+W?

Thank you! No I have a Tiffen 10 stop ND which is not particularly brilliant it does give a cast but it added to the images in this case but if youve got quite a cold scene it is very hard to sort the temp.
It seems to do well in terms of sharpness tho can't really knock it there. But vignetting and cast aren't great. For some reason it won't play well with my 16-35 huge pink spot in the centre. Wonder if I put a slight extender on the filter to get it further away from the bulbous element that may solve it. Not sure.
