First post in here... Critique Please

[FreestyleOutdoors]

Looking for some critique on these shots. Done on a Canon t3i and 100-400mm L. Thanks in advance

Here is a sunset over Blackwater National Wildlife Refuge


Downtown Toledo at sunset




And this was done on a Rokinon 8mm Fisheye lens

I like #2 and #4 the best. For me, the fact that the sunset isn't very sharp (clouds really) and the grass is out of focus kinda looks like the picture overall is out of focus. That's just my opinion, but I do enjoy the colors in all of these!

I'm having a hard time auto-focusing on just clouds like in #1. Do I need to manually set focus to infinity or what?

That will probably help.

Buildings in 2 & 3 look good. sharp, upright (no leaning verticals) reasonable exposure -

#4 - no detail in the foreground and the silhouette is a bit jumbled and uninteresting. The sky is pretty.
