Hi Ridhwan,

Welcome to TE! I see in your first two images that you are, like many of us, attracted to the wonders of a beautiful sunrise/sunset. For landscape images this is the time of day that offers the absolute best light as you have observed. You've captured some of that beauty here in the lovely colors and the wonderfully shaped clouds of this Malaysian sunrise.

Two things to consider for your next outing: For this type image it is usually best to ensure that the horizon is level. It can be hard to get it perfect during the shot without a tripod and spirit level so you may have to do the final adjustments in post-processing (Photoshop, Paint Shop Pro, GIMP, whatever). Second, you might get more response from this type image by including a bit more foreground interest. Common themes are rocky outcroppings, sea-gulls, piers, boats, pilings, etc. See what works for you and the image.

There are loads of galleries on TE but here are a few you might want to check out for ideas and inspiration for seascapes of this genre:
