Sunset and a bridge

Recently purchased a G10, and am still working to getting some settings right. I was able to be near the lake tonight when the sun started to set. Any suggestions on how to take better sunset pictures using the G10 or any suggestions in general woud be great, I have an XTI as well. Thanks!

The first one is my favorite. Offhand my only fault with it would be that it's not level.

Thanks,
I have a PP program (Corel Paintshop pro photo) I think it has a tool to straighen the horizion. Ill see if I can give that a try.

Nice shots, I agree I think the first one is the best but it looks like your horizon is tilted on almost all the shots. Did you use a tripod? if not it could help with keeping your horizon straight, keep it up and keep posting.

Thanks! I was nit using a tripod. I didn't have it in my car. I think I nay have to start leaving it in my car though! Thanks for the kind words. I'll keep posting every chance I get. practicing, Getting advice and critique is the only ways I'll get better!

The last pic is my fav.

Thanks you for the comments. I was happy with #4 as well! I was not sure how it was going to look until I got home and put it on the computer
