The sky is really colorful. Love that part of it. The lower part of the image, though, is really showing a lot of artifacts, probably due to an image that started out very underexposed. Need to either try a longer shutter speed, or maybe a higher iso, though that can create artifacts too. If you have an express fix on your program, that might also create artifacts. Brightness and contrast adjustments seem to work better, along with dodging. You might also try to spot edit some of the artifacts out, or maybe apply a noise reducer to clear it up.

this is nice but could benefit from some sharpening and the saturation may be too much.

a very nice image, but the over saturation takes away from the final result, i thing.
