Yep, sunrises and sunsets are cool especially sunsets at the beach here on the west coast Lenny! I really like the first one a lot. I know adding people into photos is a huge part of today's Instagram Photo, but I do find your being in it distracting. Perhaps that's just me? Maybe if you weren't dead center that might be a little different, it also could be the pose.
How about if you had a beach chair set up and you were sitting more in the lower right of the shot. What you would have then is the pier on the left with a leading line back towards the sunset and then you would have yourself in the lower right that then creates a triangle in the photo, think rule of thirds. Anyway, an idea for you.
