Looking at Heaven

This is a mixed up looking image, but it is cool in an artsy sort of way. I can't believe that no one is commenting on the images that you have posted in the side challenge here.

Are you hand feeding these foxes? I notice one long black hair over the near eye here that looks like it sticks right out of the image. Excellent series of shots with the foxes.

This is a great pet portrait! The white snow certainly adds a lot to the shot.

Roz, This looks like a serious storm coming in. That's a pretty place that you found, and I like it as a panorama. Nice job!

This is nice! The little highlights make up for all that's missing in the low key darkness. Excellent candid composition and capture.

Cronton View

This sunset is beautiful to me. I like the layering and gradient in both the ground and the sky. The haze looks good, and adds to the sense of great distance to the horizon. There are a lot of details to see, and that also makes the countryside look bigger and wide open, which I like a lot. The tree framing the sun is good, and the larger one matching the sweep of the clouds is very good too.
It's just right.

Sunset Over Cronton

You didn't post the settings used for this shot. I see that it is shot at longer focal length than the "Cronton View" image. If the wind is not blowing, I use a small aperture, about f11, and low ISO if I have a tripod. This helps with keeping all the elements from foreground to background sharper, and the low ISO helps with the noise in the shadow areas.
I also usually wait for the sun to get below the horizon, or put it behind something to keep it from being too bright in the image. Some sunsets look best in photos as long as 20 minutes or so after the sun disappears. In processing I use shadows / highlights and color temp/ tint adjustments to try to make the colors suit me.
I like your "Cronton View" image because it's a wider shot, and it keeps a little of the blue in the sky to color contrast with the orange.
Have a look at the available settings with your camera, and see if there are some that will enhance this kind of shot, in particular, if there is a cloudy day setting, it may make colors stronger.
